    Yea the only problem w/the bike was the guy whom I got it from sandblasted the bikes bearings all inside the headset!.So when I took it apart bearings dropped all over the place from being forced around and clogged in sand.I have a new headset on the way after that 100% dialed in.

    I highly recommend you strip it down w/stripper or sandblasting.It makes the can finish alot better than if you just sprayed over scuffed oem paint.Good luck and post up pics of before and after for sure!.
