Lot of work painting all 29 plastic pieces, been there, done that. But it is worth it in the end when one gets the colour one wants.

Re: My 88 Voyager called “No Lost Causes”
That,voyagernation,is a nice looking bike.
I cannot imagine the hours you spent doing all that work
but it was worth it.
What color is it,from the posts,it looks like a lite blue.
Any chance we will be able to see it at the 2020 rally in NH?

Re: My 88 Voyager called “No Lost Causes”
Looking good, How did you make out installing the R/V mirror trim ? And did you find the 4 inserts for the front fender ? I do make them still in thicker stainless steel. I make them with a pot depth of 0.2320 , but they can be ordered in different depths if you have had the fender repainted or repaired and the distance down to the nut plate is a bit less or more. Once you install the ones from partzilla or wherever you will then see how they secure the fork brace and make it a metal to metal connection. I would hate to see your fender crack. Mine will not crush out and not need to be replaced at every tire change. I have not been well and still recuperating from a brief stay in the hospital. And will be back into the shop once my health is not an issue. Ask around , for those who have purchased these from me. The unfinished vent trim I sent you ; did you paint or powder coat them black ? I have to admit , they look good in black with your paint scheme. I do have some other trim in stock for the side of the bags and the upper cowl. Hoping to get back to manufacturing and having some trim and sockets in stock withing the next month or so.
