Did you rattle can the wheels too?

Looks good by the way. I rattle canned an old '83 Honda once and with some elbow grease and some rubbing compound it turned out really good, for rattle can.

I traded my black wheels for the set of silver with the polished lip.

That's one thing I really like about the XB bikes... you can play Mr.Potato Head with them an mix and match parts

Sharp! Do anything special to the paint to make it look so smooth? I've always heard you're supposed to "wet sand", or something like that. Any time I've ever attempted smoothing paint, I just scratch it all to hell.

Mark- I'm guessing Vern might have advised you? He's a pretty fart smeller, when it comes to this stuff...

At any rate, looking good from here!
