How to ruin a perfectly good stock frame

[pete]

Mate that looks great, and incorporating that into your paint job would be wicked indeed

I'm sure what you have in mind will be better. But I have to say I really like the metal tank with the artwork... very edgy. Very rebellious and grungy. Keep up the great work.

I ultimately want a more structural and taller sissy-bar/luggage rack combo on my 79 850. Probably will go just a bit shorter than what you have.

It's just temporary while I'm getting the other tank finished up... I was just tired of looking at plain bare metal and I kinda wanted to try out a block style print to see what it would look like?

Wow, how did I let this get pushed back 3 pages!? haha

I've been really busy lately with work, but I've also been doing a lot of selling, swapping, buying... My '52 chevy has a new home now and I found this '74 xlh for CHEAP at a swap meet this weekend...



But don't worry, I've got a lot I want to get done on my hoard of suzuki's before I start working on this old american machine.

I think painting it just like that would be so cool!

Some doodling...

Mate that's too cool! That should be a fun job *after* the Suzuki's...

Restore or custom?

[mlc216]

Restore is not so much a part of my vocabulary haha

I'm going to see if I can get it running with a little electrical and carb work, and if it seems to be ok I may ride it like this for a little while. At least until I gather all the parts I need.
