Okay, due to my accidental wrist injury still needing time to properly heal, and with only roughly 10 days left to finish up, and a pet/house-sitting job I'm taking on during the last 5 days of the Build Off, I've had to cut back on the paint and design work again.

I won't be using any primer and black paint except on the tank, if I can make one in time. The whole bike's just going to be wire-brushed and covered with a satin clear. Heck, if I'm really pressed for time, I'll just leave it completely bare metal, and just spray rust inhibitor or something on it. The details on the chain guard, number plates, and tank will just be printed vinyl decals. While this isn't my greatest vision, I think it'll do for now. Not "top 10" material in my books, at least, not when compared to all the awesome bikes everyone else has built in the same amount of time, but definitely "good enough." I just want to get this bike as "done" as I can right now.
