The S is done

Hands down one of the most beautiful bikes I have ever seen on this site. I agree a future BOM for sure. I love all the mods, and they really seem to work well with the bike. You should be proud.
 
That's a very fine build there NVR2OLD, Those pix go up on my inspiration board. Very tasty indeed!:clap:
 
The most appreciated compliments always come from peers. I'm humbled by everyone's. This site has been good for me. It helps keep me going when I get to that point in one of these projects, that yer just SICK of working on the darn thing, and all you want to do is get it on the road. A very gratifying experience. Thanks again.
 
Absolutely stunning!
A rider instead of a show bike makes it even better.
The gold lettering on the black engine cases looks beauty.
 
Fantastic job!

Great to see the originality still show thru.

As you said these bikes have soul. They're not cookie cutter designs.

The black and gold are a great offset to the stock motor and wheels.

BOM! Oh yea, you've got my vote.

Wow. Thanks so much. And I agree with you. All the new sport bikes look pretty much the same, these older bikes have real personality, they have souls, and you can spot the different models a mile away from their counterparts.

Yep that's right.. all the new ones to me look like they've been stamped out with a cookie cutter. I like some of them, but a very very few. The V-Max being one of them. But like I said, call me crazy or what ever, but if I was offered my choice (free) between your bike or a v-max I'd have a hard time picking and most likely would settle for yours, and I'm being honest.

Very nice! Digging the blacked out wheels and engine!

That's what makes this bike look so good. They say you can't reinvent the wheel, but with nvr2old going with the black, I think he just reinvented the wheel. Blacking it out like that in my opinion is what makes this bike beautiful, and to top it off, toss in the Wes Cooley colors and that makes the thing stunning. Well that, and nvr2old's excellent craftsmanship.

I'm still drooling today....HAHAHA !!
 
nvr2old,
You know, of course, this beautiful build makes you one of the 'golden gurus' on the forum. We will all be looking to you for advice!;)

I'm honored. God knows I've spent a fair share of time asking questions myself. That's one of the main reasons I enjoy this site. A true willingness by it's users to share ideas and techniques.
 
nvr2old,
Beautiful bike; Looks like You have been really busy :p. Beyond your bike having those beautiful original Cooly colors, and loving the blacked out Yoshi pipe, I love the detail in the seat, curve on the windshield, and the shocks look very retro and complement the whole look.

The front fender carries the style from the bottom of the fairing; very nice.

Great detail thanks for sharing.

Jim
 
WOW! Great job! And yes, you have a great eye for detail. :clap::clap::clap:


I'd give my left nut for that exhaust.....anyone want a slightly used left nut for their yoshi pipe? :)
 
There is only one thing that I would change, if I had this bike.
And that would be the name on the title. Trying to get some
work done on my bike, but I keep having to stop and look at
your bike again. What kind of paint did you
use one the engine ?

Thx Dohc
 
Never2old-what a freaking beauty! What shocks are those from? There isn't a single part on your bike I even consider changing. The whole thing just plain WORKS! Good job. Thanks for all your inspiration to us! (I was following your paint blog religiously!)

:D..too funny! Sorry to be a distraction. The engine paint is Duplicolor engine enamel. Satin for the covers, and Low Gloss for the block and cylinders.

Thanks oshanac, I try to use parts that work in harmony, w/o any one piece drawing more attention. If it works as a total package and you can't quite put your finger on just why, then I'm satisfied. The rear shocks are '83 Honda CB1100F shocks..same source for the front fender. I also got a beautiful dash and gauge package off that bike that I'll use on something someday.

You never know when one of these pipes will show up. I mentioned in an earlier post a couple of months or so ago, that this pipe came up on eBay (after a fruitless 2-year search), and I picked it up for $11.50. I know, I still can't believe it either. I had the only bid on a no reserve auction. The seller was sick to his stomach I'm sure, but really nice about it, too. It's in absolutely perfect condition. Body parts in exchange, and an important one, too... Thanks very much for the compliment.
 
I wish i had the time or another bike that wasnt my daily rider to be able to fix it up like that
