Painted Frame

Winter hit here in Chicago, but not before I had time to paint the frame. I used A paint called PJ1 Frame paint. It seemed to work alright. The cans did not go very far but it seems to be a good paint. I did find out after using the paint that Pep boys sells a similar paint that might be made by the same company.

While I was letting the paint dry on the frame I started breaking down the forks that I bought a few months ago. All was going smoothly till I crushed one of the Dust Excluder sleeve nuts. Turns out they are 100.00 a piece, and on further investigation the forks are for a lighter Triumph and it is not suggested to use on this size of a motorcycle. I have found some Bonneville forks on ebay that I hope I win.

Now that the paint is dried I could not wait to reassemble the frame. My goal it to make it a roller as soon as possible
