Clean up and Re-paint and Bike ride.

Yesterday on saturday I degreased the bike and washed it off about three more times. Lightly sanded the frame down and spray painted it with about 5 light coats of paint. I can see where I need to focus more on the original nicks and chips in the paint. Sand those down again and touch up with paint. I took all the bolts off that I had put back on during the tear down. I taped them with numbers and took photos to remember where they went easier. I also started to clean up the chrome and aluminum parts. This is all new to me so I am not to sure if I am going in the right sequence and performing the work at its best. I just looked at the bike in the garage to see what yesterdays work looked like. I was also invited by my friend the same guy who helped me get the KZ400 home to go ride with him. I went out for about 3 hours with him but he is on call this week and had to split out and I did the same. I had fun on the ride.
