Well, while your tires are getting shipped, I'm reminded how your bikes have completely cleaned and painted engines... 
I like that 'skelton' pic of your Gyro.

Dang Jay the Gyro is looking super sweet! Im almost tempted to say F the rear fender so you can show off the painted motor. Polish that starter and call it a day.
Great work
Great work

well i bought these panals over a month ago. i paid $20 for the rear fender, and $17 for the other two. little elbow grease and a lot of hours u can make anything look new. just ask my good friend dan that fixed the huge holes in the fender and the 3 cracked pieces for the floor. oh, another HONDA sticker made.

Hey Jay after reading your post I got some restoluim paint ,It's close but not a match the Honda red is a little darker or it could be the bikes are so old they have faded a bit . Your Gyro is really zipping along looking great the white on the wheels looks like it was dipped really nice . Hey Jay I hope I am not too late but your bud Dan Dan The decal man ,I hope you are getting him to make you some small HONDA decals ,I havent checked but the ones on the sides of the frame and above the tail light look to be the same size ....I was wondering when Dan Dan The Decalman hopefully makes those for you ? do you think you could have him cut out a few more sheets ????, I,m guessing you could probably get about 4 or 6 across on a sheet ... His work looks really good I would be interested in getting a few from you .Get back to me if your interested .
I have been putting some red decals on my black Gyro They don't look too bad but I know the size is larger than stock ,They cost like $2.00 at a cycle shop . It was them or nothing .
I am very interested in seeing what your going to do w/ the rear fenders to fit the wider wheels . I have a feeling it will look great and I have some beat up fenders and might get some ideas from you .
Thanks David /66SIX
