    I will let you know newyorkbuell. Thanks guys I hope to be able to work on it this weekend. I have to make time to take care of the snapped bolts situation so I can ride it to my friends shop. Hell... if I dont I may just trailer it.

    I did not find a paint code but I did find someone who says they can mix that color. But I also found out its actually powder coated. I think I will make it match one way or another.

    Broken engine mount bolts came out without a fuss! :) Here are some progress photos. Lower supports are just tacked in and it sits higher than it will when completed. Got my crossroads bars on and need to make a dashboard and brackets for my XB lamps. It is nice to finally see my idea on my bike. Hope to be riding next Sunday!!!!

    PM replied to sir and thanks.

    Yea.. I was more than happy they came out easy. Since they sheared off and did not snap due to being stuck, the one with visible threads came out with vise-grips and the other broke loose when drilling it and came out with ease.

    I found the company that did the original powder coat through a member here. Unfortunately the powder they had was so old they tossed it out. They shared their vendor info with me but they will only mix 5lbs at a time for $150. Found a guy who said he could match the paint but he isn't returning emails. Sigh. I hate to break down and buy 20x the powder I need but... maybe I will. I spose I could sell some to fellow Nuc Blue Buellers. Any body wanna go in on some powder?!?!? Ha.
