Thanks a lot man. It’s taken me quite some time but I finished it just in time for the nice weather!
I did rattle it on the first go around but then went with a custom shop afterwards. The rattle can wasn’t bad looking, but it scratches very easy. Even a swipe of the hand to remove dust from the airbox cover would leave scratches. So I ordered some Hot Rod Flatz flat black from TCP Global. It’s a pre-flattened low-gloss with the 30-degree satin primer look. Mixed in some hardener then sprayed. It’s a single stage paint so you can use spray wax on it without making the flat shine or removing some finish (as opposed to rattle can). I went with powder-coating on the rear sets and tail section and some ceramic bake-on coating for the header pipes.
Im new to the forum and to Buells but man i have fallen in love with this bike from the day i brought it home!
