Dreaming in Neon Black

So at this point in time I'm faced with what some might call a rather difficult predicament. I live in Edmonton, Endo in Calgary. That's about 3 hours between us. We're also working hours that should be considered sickening.

Despite all this he continues to make progress on Project: Darkside without my interfeara... I mean help. Which leaves me in the unenviable position of updating a blog that I have no direct access too. Now, I could make up a bunch of wild stories of daring do and exciting adventure. Or I could just let Endo do all the work... but I've already received payment for the words that flow forth from these golden fingers so let us away.

Today Endo and I met halfway between here and there (I believe it's called nohere) and he filled me in a little. Which is to say he gave me some pics and told me generally what was going on:

Darkside is running, infact she'll bring the front end up in the first three gears without trying. Though you can smell that the mixture is... a little rich. Going to take a little tuning, and she's loud as fuck. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. We continue to keep our eyes open for an orignial Z1000 exhaust. You would think that with me working at a Kawi dealership there would be lots floating around... but that is sadly not the case.

Last week Darkside went in for paint.


After careful masking a subtle coat of gloss black was layed down. I know it's tough to see, but if you look close enough you'll notice it.



The subframe received a similar treatment.




And because I'm a prick, here Haelo is why the buildoff final pics should include a sideshot.






AND, the Acewell gauge is all wired up.


The plastics are in the shop for custom paint, and we're hoping to see everything together by next weekend.

Enjoy the rest of the buildoff :D!
