Found an F painter here in Los angeles area.

Posted: Tue Jun 27, 2006 11:12 pm

I just picked up my bodywork from Born Again Farings in San Dimas Ca.
Total cost for a red white and blue paint job 1050.00, and he nailed it perfectly. Hand painted the stripes, candy blue with white pearl as perfect as could be expected now i`m looking at the rest of the bike thinking its not up to snuff for this paint job... Lots of work ahead..
If anybody can host and post i`ll send the pics.

Thanks ray...If he and I and I knew the HONDA was sheer i would have had him set it further back into the white and left it off the stripe but thats the way the ball bounced.
Funny its allot more colorfull out in the light.
...Thanks Man.

Well, you know the old saying:

"If you can't make it fast, make it red."

Or was that "loud".

Naah, I think it was "red"

You are gonna have to race him to find out whos bike is faster, your red or his blue!!! Razz

I already know who is going to win if I race him and his blue so we will have to have you do the nasty for us. Razz

Allright Smartass Wink

...You....I wouldnt race...After all i have CV carbs and maybe a stock ignition, weight wise we would be even ..But i`m betting eatpasta`s youth and love for Gwen and hopes for the future would prevent him from taking any chances.
Me on the other hand am old and ugly ...My girlfriend isnt really there for me..So i have nothing to lose.
Nawww..Not really..I want to live Smile

I wouldnt mind a sanctioned race in the proper venues though.
Even heads up with the great super F Cool

I say this with love Smile

Speaking of racetracks...
Me and my Crew are seriously planning on renting a day at one either Willow Springs or Fontana next year sometime.
No "serious" racing or anything but a great video and picture day no doubdt Exclamation

Jeff you are welcome to join us when the day comes of you are interested?

Posted: Thu Jun 29, 2006 12:05 am

what do you need to be legal for the racetrack?

Posted: Thu Jun 29, 2006 12:08 am

I love being called a smart ass Twisted Evil

it beats being called a dumb ass. Razz

Well just dont get me wrong..I meant it as a term of endearment wasnt meant to offend...Friendly ribbing is all. Hope your on the same boat Wink

As far as the legality`s of the track concerning bikes ..Stock is fine..
If you want to slick it up thats OK too.Stuff like rear sets and pipes and such are cool.
Cars on the other hand have to have to have wheel studs showing..
That says they arent running the stock studs wich can and do break transmission blankets ECT.
The last pass i made on a bike was at orange county raceway about a year before they tore it down...Such a shame to see the last refuge go.

Like I said, I like it.
Right on and Ride On.

When will you be ready to ride?

I had Born Again Fairings do my Interstate Fairinged Custom about 15 years ago. Paint still looks good except for scratches and dings. I figure I'll have them do it again soon.

Good find zman. Wink

Soon...This weekend sounds right...Fork tube problem solved. No difference. I have the tweaking to do on the galfer front line then a carb syncro to do....Its hot as hell after 11AM or so and i usually break for Beer then so i`m out of buisness after 12 noon.
The heat sucks.. I need a bike to ride.
Soon Very Happy

Pretty much what Jeff said , plus if at Willow springs there will be no rescue personel on site so "ride or race at your own risk " follows.
