Looks pretty nice.  Is that a metallic finish? 

Is the muffler heat shield original or did you refinish it.  Really looks good too.

Try using a photo resizer app - that is what I do...

That is a link for android phones but I am sure the same program is available for iPhone

Stig,
If you are using a PC, you can download FastStone Photo resizer. It will do single photos and also do resizing in batches. Works great and is free.

Also a question, how much did you spend getting your wheels powdercoated? I like the color and have been thinking about it myself lately.

I think the cost was $50 a wheel. Before powdercoating i sandblasted them. After powdercoating the wheels I put 2 coats of clear to shine them up.

Luckily the guy who did the powder coating is pickier than me. I told him to take his time. The bike wasn't off the road. I bought a second set of rims. If anyone needs some PC work done I can forward Adams's info.

Use your computer's software or get an app that helps you resize them. Photos stored offsite are lost when accounts lapse or are closed. Although these latest photos don't depict critical mechanical procedures, they will still be useful for others contemplating using theses services.
