Roger knows a guy not far from him. He painted my bike before I purchased it but, man it’s gorgeous work. A little pricey but worth the money in my opinion. I’ve got his number somewhere, I’ll look and get back.

Steve, I have friends - the best of the best- in the CBX world. I don't own a CBX Myself but these guys restore them and build the engines: Bill Brint of Tims CBX in Cornelia, GA and Roger Twito (an execellent engine builder) in Bethpage, TN. They built my GPz 750 Turbo and are both great guys, I ...

I sold the benly a while back. I never could figure out the headshake/wobbling I had going on. I think it was bearings. Anyway, I've bought some tube frame buell's and have been playing with those.

I have a couple, message me your address and I can drop one in the mail. I think I only have two though. I think the heads are ok. I bought a couple lots on eBay a while back. I'll dig in those.

You may be quicker and easier to take chips advice. I had to use an impact screwdriver to break these ...

Glamorous story chip! There's a reason we all mess with certain vehicles or whatnot. I love to hear a story like this.

Good to know. I never had much luck with paint on vinyl or rubber.

Neat stuff Chip. Out of curiosity, what did you use to paint the rubber knee pads green?

Awesome, thanks guys!

Picture didn't upload.

I've found some genuine mirrors on ebay. I can clean the chrome no problem, however, the mirror rubber trim looks like it's seen better days. Does anyone know how to restore the rubber trim?
