All man thats cool as h@ll. Enjoy every minute of it. H@ll Kyle's ten already. Thank god for speed channel it dos'nt matter if it has two wheels or four wheels steering wheel or handlebars the motor in it or on it if they race it we watch it. He knows more nascar drivers and numbers then I do. I'd love to freeze him at ten years old for the rest of my life. He's my little buddy.

Dillon, Kyle says hi and ask santa for a Cobra 50 for Christmas.

If you can look at the last bike (gsxr 600) frame and you can see that the frame is not like I want it, that finish is with a canton flannel and white, but I tried the canton and blue later and it seemed to do better, so maybe I can get some more pics.... thanks alot, the busa will be ready tuesday so you have to wait on those pics....

Sorry guys but I can't get the picture thing to work......
If anyone can help me move pics from my yahoo account to a post on the forum please help, I will be back in the morning....
I've posted the pics for Fly here: http://forum.caswellplating.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=all&si=Fly's

i hate to say it bro but the left side looks great to me in the close up. on the right side wide shot it does look less sparkly and it may just be that there is something up with the alloy. not all items will polish up the same. i have run across nozzles before that were the sam maker and they polished different even with the exact same steps. if you are not happy go back to the vented or finger buff and emory and start over from there.

Yea I think I might have figured it out, I didn't try the blue with the flannel cotton. I tried it on the busa and it worked out good now I have to wait and get the other bike back so that I can fix it....

Looks good fly...I noticed "sharpy" marks on the frame..do you typically stop where the plastics cover?
