Great looking vert. You did one heck of a job. I'd let you paint my car anyday, hint hint!

haha Dream Oval, you may have spoken too soon...and yes 302army I did it myself. The car was finished at the end of last summer, and in the time since then (3-4 months short of a year) some clear-coat is already coming off the trunk-lid. It definitely looks good (no orange peel, runs, or spotting) if you are just glancing over the whole car, but then on the top of the trunklid some clear is comin up. In my defense though, the car is in FL, and sits outside year-round in the FL sun, and to make it worse, I live on the beach, so we got sea salt too. My house garage is a hangout room, and the work garage is full of other projects.

By the way Dream, what part of Florida are you from? I live in Daytona, but currently Im in VA finishing up grad school.

haha, you and me talked a bit you youtube.

about how we both had a SV1000S.

xarmy187 is my handle on youtube.

Sick5.0LX

No way! I remember that.. i remember you commenting how we both had SV1ks and 5.0s... too funny.

302army187

haha, small internet I guess.

i ran some SLOW 12.3@112 up here in colorado on the SV, and then sold it a few months back to my father.

money got a bit tight and my dad loved the SV so he took over the payment's for me.

ill have it back someday.

glad to see you here though!

I sold mine about a year ago, and decided to another 5.0 with the money, and I was kinda done with the v-twin thing, so I got an GSXR 1k, but then I wrecked it,and it was a total loss ... i guess that's just the way things go haha

here's one of the pics of the aftermath! You can't really tell.. but the frame is cracked in half near the forks, but the engine was still good, go figure! haha
