Domme Toretto 🖤

Got some sweet rollers on the way to Toronto 📷: @sendqueery

Always 😔

I miiiight have underestimated just how much attention a pink paint job would attract 😅 Took her out for the first real ride yesterday for just an hour and had 6 different people ask me about it and more roll down their windows to wave or throw a thumbs up.

That’s how I do it and just hope you DM 😅

Coming to a really depressing realization lately that I’ll probably never get back to full strength with my dominant hand. Crashed my bike last year and broke my collarbone and thumb. Collar bone is great, and I’ve got like 95% mobility back in my thumb, but very little strength

Okay, I’m impressed 🤯

Holy scope creep! What was supposed to be a 3-4 day job of painting the fairings, turned in a 2.5 month complete ground up restoration. I’ve replaced or refreshed every single part outside of the block. Too much to list, but my to-do list was 127 items at one point. Not everything is perfect, but I’m very very happy with how it turned out and it’s something I’m very proud of.

So, under woke 3.0 rules, now that both my Senator (@AbdulElSayed) AND my Representative (@RashidaTlaib) are Muslim, can I as a white woman say habibi? It just sounds so cool

So, my bike is gonna be finished today 🎉🎉🎉, then I also need to replace the control arms on the Panamera before Alli gets back from Japan in ~10 days or so, easy… buuuuut WoW Forever launches tomorrow evening… we’ll see what wins out :P

Body filling the tank today and the replacement cluster came in, she’s so close!

Look, I know sponsor roll calls are “controversial” 🙄 or whatever on personal cars/bikes but I did all this work to paint her fucking pink, I clearly do not give a fuck what randos think. I love it.

Last year I replaced the stock fairings after the crash with unpainted white ones and did a very quick strip and spray job on the tank so it would match. I found out that it was not only not the stock tank but the replacement had also been repaired and painted over. I ignored the body work needed as I just wanted to get back on the road. Now’s the time to actually repair it. 😅

I don’t exactly love love the white backing on some of the vinyl but it would look weird without it imo. Might try and find a better solution down the road. Now on to the final step of bondo and painting this beat to shit tank. 3 days and she’ll be complete! 🤞🏻

Woo! My to do list on this full restore is finally in the single digits

Plasti-Dip is so sick! Extremely happy with how these came out and how easy it is to spray.

Was going to wait until I was finished to see it all together, but the test piece I did yesterday came out so good that I had to get a little preview of how the rest of the fairings are gonna look

Damn I love this bike more than anything

Never done Plasti-Dip before, here goes nothin’

Took all afternoon to do the brakes as they were seriously gunked up, but time for a test ride! Haven’t ridden her in months and I’m so fucking happy.

She lives! First start since I began this huge project. Finally time to start the actual project I set out to do originally (plasti-dipping the fairings) 😅
