Nice. You use a ruler to straight edge all thie lines I
assume? Looks good.

Remind me again WHY you were starting with a Twinstar and
not something a little pokier? You've inspired me to try
the technique Tokes showed me recently and I'll do my cafe
racer, preferably with one of the Skunk Sisters. Something
to keep me busy(er).

I wouldn't have believed you prior doing the mods to my old
GS450 - it now goes very well and handles remarkably well.
If you can get a junker like that to go and handle, then it
is possible with nearly anything!

Grab one off something else - easy way.

I HATE polishing exposed springs. Twin rear chrome shocks
are no fun. Plays for a nice set of remote gas alloys at
some point.

I imagined them side by side like a Triumph Speed Triple,
but what you has would work. :-)

Good luck - unless its Kawasaki this always seems iffy.

Don't leave them off, get the ones that are integrated in
the mirror stalks! They are LED and about as thick as pen
and can be see from front and rear.

Sounds good. I'd offer to come across and help you with
the paint job, but you've got to get it all together first.
By then I should be half decent at spraying. Reminds me,
should post the pic I sprayed - I'll detail about how it
ties in with the group when I post it. Lots of wetness!

I've usually about 98Mb free in my Yahoo account, so plenty
of room. :-) Besides, I think others don't mind seeing a
bit of your 'other' art occasionally.

Thanks- I've forwarded them to Tokes. I'll let you know
his reactions. :-)
Ride free, citizen! Scrapper, bikie Black Dragon.
PS, Claw to slow down getting your account hacked, try
stronger passwords, but even that isn't a guarantee. S,BD.
