Thank you everyone :D
It's been pretty cold here, and I've been working a ton of hours so I haven't gotten much done on the bike lately.
I installed the new kickstand and I really like it. Here are some pics...

I want to paint it Green but the kickstand is powder coated, so I'll need to strip it first. :roll:

I've been trying to finish this bike, but overtime at work and cold weather has kept me out of the shop. I decided to paint the kickstand the same color as the frame, but it needs to be much warmer out to paint. I had an idea to add some safety bolts and wire to the front sprocket. I need to order smaller size bolts in stainless steel to fit the holes. Here are some pics. Tom
