Made some more progress today, ditched the 2nd front rotor. Sorted out a few electrical issues and
installed a set of late turn signals for the trip to the DMV. Will ditch those too and use the small aluminum
ones I like that go more with the direction I went with the bike. Got the rear tire mounted, cut the chain to
length and installed the chain guard. Will spend this week working on the tins and may paint next weekend.

Worked on the tank and tail and primed them tonight with high build primer. Hope to paint this weekend but
not going to rush it at this point.

Worked all weekend on the H2 and made more progress. Have the tins painted, will wait a week and color sand
and then apply the decals. Used the Spray-max 2K clear again, love that stuff.
