Number one is time, Number two is UV exposure. I put the bike out on the back slab all day yesterday and all day today. I also put a small heater blowing across the back fender which helped the donut lift out completely. I think it will just take time with all of the build that is there. I just hope it doesn't get mucked up while at CHL if it isn't cured by then.

I'll be setting it outside in the sun as often as possible.

Years ago when I had my first custom paint done, the painter called me and said it was all done, come check it out.
When I got to the shop he told me it was out back - 'settin in the sun'.
When we went out to look at it he almost dropped, all the paint had "pulled" and was very screwed up.

We brought it inside and he told me he would see me next week.

Hung around for a while, had a  or 2 and after several hours the paint looked it does in the second picture.
It actually looked like the snake had real snakeskin, it was cool and I kept it that way.

As you have gotten many complements with your bike from the forum here (job well done I must say), what is your next step other than ride the heck out of your bike?

Gonna, wanta do another bike project like yours again?

Dave,

Thanks for the compliments. To answer your first question, I'm looking forward to getting onto other items on the long list of projects that I have been ignoring for far too long. No more bike projects for a long while. This one took a good bit of time and money. Luckily the insurance company supplied the money and all I had to do was supply the time.

Shoot me a msg when you're coming to town as I'm sure you and your buddies will have plenty of new stories about the first half of your journey.
