New headlight and ordered new wiring harness as I fucked other one up taking out of the bars...ummm tanks getting airbrushed black and then moons customs on the side with moon in yellow, ah engine is going in today to get stripped of old paint and done in matte flat black with some chrome bits left to make it pop...
