In an effort to finish the bike on time I dropped it off today at the powder coater. It was a little pricier than I expected but I decided to do the frame, fork, fenders and chain guard. Not helping the budget was the fork being 3 pieces (not including the shocks) that need to get coated.
I also got my slick in the mail today. It is a no-name Korean tire, but it is a square-back slick and it showed up in just 4 days. Tonight I was able to clean up the wheels and get the tires mounted. Looks like I am going to be up to my eyeballs in orange clean and naval jelly for the next week or so.
