It's nice to be an Inspiration rather than a Cautionary Tale for once!
I finished up the filling and sanding a little while ago. I was pleasantly surprised how little work I still had to do once I guide coated for a final surface check. Now, I'm taking a little lunch break, then off to the hardware store for air filters and more eye bolts to hang my paint tent in a new location.
Barring some unexpected fiasco, I expect I'll prime tomorrow, then wet sand tomorrow night or Thursday morning for final paint Thursday.
And I just had the joy of realizing that I'd forgotten a couple things, e.g. a new dust cover for the lower bearing race, in my last parts order so I've now reached the point of having three orders from two scooter shops before any of them have shipped yet.
