Thanks,
Dupli-color rattle can, yeah, did it myself. In those pics the tank and fork lowers haven't been cleared yet. Tank will get flames to match the fender. It's deffinately a "ten foot" paint job. This tank looked like someone turned a 4 yr old loose w/ a ball-peen hammer! Hours of fillin, sandin, primin and still gives ya a subtle, friendly wave when ya get close.

Can`t help thinking that the biking world would be a boring place if everyone rode stock machines. I have a stock GS750 and another that I chopped, guess which one gets the most interest when its parked up anyplace !. It certainly won`t win any prizes thats for sure, but I like it and at the end of the day thats what counts. There are plenty of classic clubs for the purists where they can be sure the bikes have exactly the original phillips screw heads or shade of paint. Don`t get me wrong, I like to see stock machines too, but if the owner wants to modify it, why not ?.

Hey, Po-boy, I like your bike. If you need any help putting a good automotive clear on there, let me know. I live in Love-land. Not too far down 275.

Thanks PB, I might take you up on that offer. I've not heard any long term success w/ rattlecan clear on the tank. Seems like gas takes its toll fairly quickly...

I like that color too. Keep going your almost there.

Thanks,
It's a lil more copper than I wanted but looks OK after it's cleared. Rattle cans kinda limit your color choice unless you go w/ the custom mixed stuff, too much $$$ for this build.

"new" turn signals...

Look kinda like school bus signals, but heh, they were free and look better than the 6" stems and pitted chrome.

Side view...

[elevatorman71]

[po-boy]

Thanks...

Thanks man,
I appreciate the compliments. I've never seen a bike, car, boat, etc., etc., that I wouldn't change something on. Having said that, I'm tryin to use various styles and components to make this bike my own. Not really a bobber, not a chopper, kinda a melting pot of things I've seen done on cars, bikes, etc... Thanks for the pics you sent, tryin to come up w/ something cool to top off the struts on mine, thought maybe you might spark an idea.
Keep choppin,
Jeff

[briyenkieth]

needs a proper hardtail! materials for mine ran about $100. budget shmudget. you can always do it later when the struts no longer look right to you though. LOL! besides that do as you please and listen to no one even my senseless opinion means nothing!
