I agree with everyoner else, pick up the bike. The fact that 2 months nearly 3 has passed and they havent so much as touched the bike is a sure sign they are putting it off while completing other jobs, dont stand for it, get your bike back take it elsewhere. Thats a really nice gixxer there by the way.

Go get your bike. Accept this as lost time, don't accept any excuse, just move on and report your experiences to everyone.
Go get your bike now.

I can't believe this is still a discussion, it should be an update saying that you've got your bike back and have taken it to a painter that will actually do the work, instead of just stare at the unpainted parts.

Yeah, I'm glad you're happy, dude; but I would have taken back my parts and rather waited, supporting a painter that is into servicing thier customers.

and this was a good oppurtunity.
I took it to a local guy that builds bikes, repairs and paints and said he would do it, no problem. Gave him the paint sample from Harley Davidson
and made a mistake of saying " It is January (being cold) and you can take your time"
Well it is almost April and the Bike is in his shop in the same spot I dropped it off on Jan. 3rd! I keep asking, when will it be done, I get.
" I'm real busy" blah, blah, blah. etc.
I don't want to be an A**h**e to the guy, but how long should I wait. Plus he never returns call and never seems to be in the shop. All I get from the other workers there is" Soon" or "your next".
I probably will just pick the bike up this weekend, and figure he just didn't really want the work. Anyone run into this? How to find good shops?
Thanks
Go over and get your bike and take it home. Find someone else to do the work and hold them to a time.
He finally painted it? I would have stiffed the bastrd.
