Last 2 weeks I've just about finished my Magna. (Too busy last year to do it, but it was perfectly acceptable at 90% done.)
-Put e-bay LED headlight in e-bay LED headlight bucket instead of OEM bucket which never fit right and had bolts hanging out front to hold the LED light in. Looks much better now.
-Chrome trim around the gas tank (This was actually for function over form, but I do quite like the way it looks. So that's helpful. Gas tank has slight 'crinkles' in a few spots where the tank goes flat on the edge. The chrome trim 99% hides that.)
-Touch up paint pen/paint with a small brush used for some spots on frame, engine casing and rear fender paint where my saddlebag rubbed through (now addressed with those aluminum stays that hold the bags back from the fender)
-Cleaned, ceramic coated and coat of wax next week to top it off (It's a $1200 paint job on this bike and I'm trying to make it last for as long as it can before it starts getting all sorts of marks and shit on it as I don't garage queen this bike.)
Pretty much done and going to get an updated walk around video soon. That's my humble brag for bringing a $1000 junker up to something far from showroom, but 'pretty good' condition in my eyes.
