Red: New Tank!

Finally got the correct tank for Red.  $98.50 on eBay.  Interior looks great and no frozen screws on the badges.  Chrome guards and rubbers look passable.

Viola: New Trim, More Sanding

Fit the new (chrome) fork trim after buying the "fork rebuild kit" and getting plastic trim parts!  Lesson learned (again).

Continued with a little hand sanding on the Viola tank.

Viola: Roloc Tank

Had a productive Roloc session with the "good" tank.

Viola: Install New Steering Head and Forks

Removed the old frozen steering head and forks and replaced it with the newly painted steering with the grey forks.  Forgot that the fork trim rings were frozen in place with the old forks, so need to get another pair.  Realized I should have just bought the "fork rebuild kit" on eBay instead of spending $25 on new fork gaiters alone.

Viola: Stripping Bottom-Left-Front

Very tricky section to strip.  Neither the large or small Roloc really seemed to be able to do it.  Ended up hand sanding with 80 grit, and even that couldn't get it 100% clean.

Viola: Painting the Steering Head

Painted the steering head.  Also primed a lower fork holder to see if it was thick enough to cover over partially sanded paint (it wasn't).

Viola: Priming the Steering Head

Went ahead and primed the entire steering head.  Masking it up took more time than painting.
