Well I have spent the last couple nights rubbing, rubbing, and rubbing some more trying to get all the flat black off of the chrome. Isn't it funny that when you are trying to get paint to stick it won't, but when your trying to remove it it fights you all the way. I also...

Polished up the switch housings - found out that with some fine sandpaper and a little Mothers Polish they almost look chrome. The sandpaper really does a number on the little blemishes, but it takes ALOT of elbow grease!

Spent about 2 hours polishing the Sissy bar that JReed gave me with the bike - I was surprised how well it came back to life!

Removed the ugly discolored gray factory wire wrap and picked up some stainless wrap from Lowes (Ice maker water line with the plastic tube removed)

Removed all the AIS parts and have the aluminum plugs coming

Got the Apes mounted and the stock bars back on the other bike

Ordered the Suzuki Needle and Seat - Definitely going pumpless on this one

Got a great deal on a Saddleman seat off of eBay (hasn't got here yet)

Got a great deal right here on the Clinic on a headlight (even though I was able to get all the flat black paint off of the one that was on the bike oh well I guess I will have an extra), front master cylinder (the old one needed to be rebuilt) and clutch perch/lever - Thanks WarStar!

Removed the rear turn signal assembly and spent a couple hours getting all the flat black off of it (not sure if I am going to use it, but it may be something to put on eBay for sale)

Sorry I have been slacking with the camera, but I will get some pics soon.

Also what do you guys think about a flat black paint job. The bike is already flat black, but it's a horrible job. I can get an idea of what it would look like though and it's kind of cool. Kind of Mad Maxx and the Thunderdome looking. I'm not sure if I should go flat black, gloss black, or possibly dark gray. I'm thinking of doing a skull theme and those colors would go with what I have pictured in my mind.
