Started working on the streetbike

I got tired of seeing all the rust and corrosion on my streetbike ( Suzuki GS500).
So I removed everything down to the frame. Took the frame and wheels to get powder coated. The frame and wheels will be semigloss black, and gloss black.
I had to strip off the paint on the tank, and the plastic bodywork. It took a lot of sanding. I also Took the shock apart, and sanded, and painted the shock body, and spring.
I will keep the blog updated with progress reports, but here is some pictures for those of you who are having anticipation anxiety:
