Red Rider...almost

I haven't posted anything recently, and if you look below you will see why. Despite the rainy weather and a lot of Diablo III, I managed to finish up the body work and paint the CB450. I found just enough red Centari acrylic enamel in the garage, and my plan was to shoot a base coat of that and to clear over top with ChromaClear. After three coats of red, I liked the outcome so much, I said' "done". 

I tweaked a few things during reassembly, like new fuel lines and clamps and some double-sided tape to keep the tank emblems on. So then I took her for a quick spin around the block, but I need to make some serious adjustments to the rearsets, which are barely functional at this point, and shifting and braking are kind of important. I guess I don't need to run out for that new helmet just yet.
