MrsFZ1inNH Build Thread - ***REVEALED!*** Vid and Pics!

Billy, you left yet? :tup:

I'm heading out in a few minutes to get started on the build. It'd COLD out there so I won't be moving fast... Plus, I have to be extra careful. One scratch and she'll have my arse in a sling!

Boy, if he just had a web cam set up in the Busted Knuckle Garage, we'd have a great show to watch tonight while I have some buttered popcorn!
 
Boy I'am I the only one who knows.:needpics:

Hey Johnny, just a quick sidenote while we patiently wait for some pictures from Eric. You mentioned riding over to the mountain one time soon to meet up. I checked on Mapquest after your post. You do know that your easily two hours from Harriman and Bear Mountain don't you? You can PM me so we don't hijack Eric's wonderful thread, or meet me in "Chat".
 
Well, I got a lot done tonight but still not finished. Still to come are the full fairings with the offset sliders, then the inner fairings then put the badges on, the tank protector and finally the adjustable kick stand. :D Michele was out helping me for the better part of this. Tail, tank and front cowl are all mounted.

I need to hit the store in the AM and get some 3M tape for the panels on the sides of the tank and the vent beneath the windshield.

Sleep tight all. Tomorrow evening, it *should* be a reveal!!!
 
Im eager to see its completion too..

You were the owner with the Tacoma right? If so, I know...

Yes, that is me! I've actually slipped here once and told too but it wasn't caught. But even saying the name of the color will not do it justice.

Why does it have to be so damned cold this morning!!! I hope it warms up a lot more before I head out to the garage.

According to Bill Belichick all you need in New England is a hoodie with the arms cut off part part way. You should be good to go if you have a pair of scissors and a hoodie :innocent0002:

He's a wimp... I'm in shorts and a tank with bare feet... :beer:
 
the house has heat doesn't it?? Bring the damn bike in!!!! Mine was in the spare bedroom all winter while torn down,DO IT!!!!!

Problem with that is that then Eric will end up in the garage, so bike will be warm and Eric cold...not sure he'll go for that :D

It was a one-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater!!!!!!

I'm loving the purple Michele. Great choice of colors. I'm sure the gold pops better when your there live and in person. It was worth the wait and because of the excellent prep work, she came out beautiful.
 
Looks good but the video doesnt do it justice as you can't see the gold flake hopefully I will be able to see it up close one dayDont wanna let my wife see that or she is gonna want her bike repainted! Congrats MRSFZ1inNH!!!
 
I hope the pics show it off better than the video. If not, We will get an HD video tomorrow!
