Red: White Paint Test

Didn't get the warm weather I was hoping for, but it was just barely 60 degrees so decided to paint the tank to test the new Dupli-Color Engine White.

Setup the paint shop in front of the old trash door along with the two lamps.

The paint went on smoothly despite the cool weather.  It's a nice bright white.  Though after putting the tank back on the bike, there's something about the red/white contrast that could work.  Just need to play with what should be white and what should stay red.  Or do we still go with an all white bike?

Between coats, was examining the clutch parts in stock.  Realized that the drive gear and the plates from the automatic clutch are actually different than stock S90.  But in the old "X1" junk box, I actually found a good S90 drive gear and a few other knick-knacks.

Did steal the good friction plates, clutch cover, big springs, and small springs from the auto clutch.

Also unboxed the new eBay crankcase that I only bought because I thought I wouldn't be able to get the other case to work with the trochoid because of that knock pin problem.
