    Well I decided to finally repaint my bike. The old paint and body work had bothered me for the past two years. The old paint was starting to bubble in places. So I decided to take it down to bare metal and start fresh. Once I got down to the old body work. I quickly found out the P.O Had no Idea what he was doing with body work or paint. SO here's a picture Of the finished product. All I have left to do is wet sand and buff the clear.
