did not get too much done, well i put on 105 miles yesterday! was awesome!
the glide coat trick was awesome! showed me all my high and low spots... just did the final coat of Dyna-lite body filler... will sand that down and hit it again with another glide coat jsut to check it out... but i should have the seat done in the next day or so

 

ok... Got the seat painted, tank and side covers shot... they still need to be wet sanded to 2000 grit then shot indoors to get a nice smooth surface... but they look good for the first coat... got the screen made for the side cases... and CHECK out steves wiring harness he did up! man this thing is awesome !
Got the white bars on, cut them down 2 inches to tighten up the front end... got the throttle all hooked up and the cables lubed... got to take the girl out on a date now... more stuff to come tomorrow.... (i also wired a stereo into a Harley road king today... done working on bikes for the night)

ok... another ? for you then... there are still some spots that need to be "touched up" where there are waves in the glass or spots that need to be sanded a bit smoother... any tips on this? maybe a glazing after i wet sand them before the 2nd coat? i am just a bit lost on how to do the glaze... thanks for all the help!

 

Those screens are sharp with the white. awesome pics

The only way you can get the waves out are to resand it with a sanding block or a body file to get it all flat. You can check it by pouring water over it which would look like the finish coat or clearcoat... I use a foam block for the final sand then prime it. If you see any waves in it before ya paint it they will always be there. Once ya paint it you can sand it with 800 then 1500 then buff it out with 3M Perfect II or something similar! The secret is to have the prep as smooth and defect free as you can make it before ya start painting. You could use a product like Nitrostan for the final over the primer then sand and reshoot the primer. My .02

 

The best way to get out waves is to block sand at 45s. In other words you should sand in alternating strokes in overlapping X patterns. Use a harder block for flat surfaces and soft for the curves. And sand the paint off before you try to do anything the paint, body filler, and glass all will sand at different rates and you'll never get the wave out.

 

thanks guys! just the help i was lookign for!!! thanks i am on it this weekend!
