So i stated when i introduced my self i had a little accident the other day where a couple of my fairings cracked and received sum road rash.. well idk today i got a bug up my ass about re-doin the whole bike so i ran out to my local home depot, pep boys, and walmart for a few items

and my work begins to repaint my bike. My friend and I began the process of sanding and filling in any cracks and any imperfections with plastic bondo.. gotta wait till tomorrow before i can re-sand and begin the priming but here's are progress so far
