Every panel is paint complete now and I'm w/d soft block sanding with 2000 grit, then 1 by 1 polishing with a 2 or 3 in air polisher with a foam pad.

The seat base and major fairings have come up much better for orange peel etc, I think I'm just doing my thing(learning through mistakes)and gaining more understanding of gun settings.

I actually have a really nice set of original mirrors which I may use , I can easily relocate them. Tbh I want to see how it looks which I suspect will be better but I'm pretty sure they'll work better on the bars.

Hi Andrew, just looking through your thread on the 750 and remembered you were coming over to wa, mate pm me if you end up in Northern suburbs Perth and get the chance to swing by, hows the mirrors on the 750 ?I deleted the original mirror location holes on mine, so I'll be looking at similar/maybe ...

Getting closer every day waha, got some tips on decals and hoping to finish the red and white panels tomoz , had a couple of rub through's on the tank and headlight fairing which will have to wait and slowly prime and harden up between coats or ill have a fry up , fingers crossed anyway that if I sl...
