Home		So here's the bare frame I'm going to strip it and paint it the same color as the bike.
		Since I have the new flat side tanks I don't need the ugly lower front mount. I will grind it off.
		I'm not using a factory ignition module so off the mount goes. I will grind it off
		In order to mount the new tanks I need to remove the old top rear tank mounts off...so... I will grind them off. A recurring theme here...
		These are the risers I'm going to use...they just happen to be the old ones. Don't mind the missing washer it'll be there when the scoot is done.
		The module mount is now history....
		...as is the old lower tank mount. A much cleaner look.
		Goop... De-Coat from Eastwood company is said to remove powder coat (it's pink). Brush on a coat, wait 1/2 hour, lay on a thicker coat. wait 3 hours and....
		Scrape, scrape, scrape, scrape, scrape, scrape, scrape, scrape, scrape, etc...
		...And it works....Somewhat... After 2 coats it wasn't working as well as I would have liked so I had the frame media blasted.
