Love the juxtaposition of the painted frame looking beautiful and the mud caked parts in the back 🤣

 

Is that a tiny bit of silver overspray on the left rear axle I see? 🔍

 

Tried frog tape yet?

Looking great!

Your black spray paint dries shinier than mine.  Maybe I should do more prep work, or try painting inside.....lol

lol, yeah, the temp ( inside my shop ) is warmer, spray paint needs a warmer temp to dry good.

You'll guys with the glossy black paint , I am the flat black guy , looks meaner !!! 

 

I think humidity has a lot to do with the shine , gloss black can  get a white cloudiness when the humidity is higher , flat does it too now that I think about it , we always have very high humidity down here

You'll not kidding , I've seen a  lot of foot problems been going around ---  including some  foot in the butt and foot in the mouth 

 

Did you know the Japanese pay a lot of attention to the health of their  feet , there are more bones in the feet then the rest of the body

Bet that 2wd 500 would be a fun bike to ride.  Without all the weight in the front end it ought to have a little pep to it.

Ha, I have 4-5 of these in the yard (all 4wd).  If I wanted a 2wd I'd build one!

 

I don't have anything 2wd.  Too much mud where I ride.

Where's the front differential??? hah. I did NOT even know they made 500s in only 2wd.  Do they still offer them without 4wd?
