another update:
well.. as of today, the 11th, bike isnt done yet. but its alot further. both gas tanks (stock and fiberglass race tank), nose, side fairings, inner fairings are done. the bike would have been done prob today or tomorrow, but he said while drying the candy somehow mixed with the clear and made the paint wrinkle in 9 different spot, so he had to sand it back down, reprimer, repaint the pearl, clear it, sand it and let it all dry again. he had just started redoing the tail again when i showed up. so now, if nothing messes up with the tail on this 2nd try, it will b done by today (11th) as well as dried/cleared/baked. then again, if all goes well, he is going to let it cure over the weekend, polish everything monday and start assembly, so again, if all goes well he said tuesday is the day.
i talked with 2 other guys there and they were prob a few years older then me (late 20s) and both were down to earth and i got them to talk. first i talked about the stuff they did, polishing, sanding, ect.. let them talk about themselves some. then i asked about my bike, and both said the same thing, how the tail messed up yesterday and they had to redo it this morning. 1 guy said how my bike was about 2 1/2 weeks behind schedule, bu he didnt go into why it was. but he said him and the other guy will b doing the wiring tonight while the owner paints the tail. they even said the last 2 nights they have stayed till 11-1130 working on it. so.. we will see.
