thanks Roger... for everything! i would not be where i am at now on this bike without your help and advice!

 

damn i forget to check this thread for a day and i come back and your halfway done!!

WOW that gold frame looks SO good. the white tins actually dont look that bad on it either! you going to keep it that way or paint them?

at this point dark green,or dark blue OR a deep blood red would look amazing. you have a lot of options now!

 

Joe...that seat and cowl look great!!! Its simple (don't take that the wrong way)! Man, can't get over how good that looks...its exactly how I want mine.

 

Since you're going to sell it in the spring....the hardest part of this job will be getting your money back out of it.

~Joe

 

you would think but as of right now i have 338 bucks into it... total... i do all my own powder and paint and well... basicly everything... i have 2 of these to build this winter so i have to get one done by the end of next month to stay on track... looking somewhere for 2800 - 3500 for this depending on the final product... will sell well in the city... hell it should it will be perfect when i am done...
got the bike for $125 can not beat that! had alot of the stuff I used on hand... these two bikes are going to pay for my hunnymoon! (I HOPE!)

 

So...when do you start on mine??

~Joe

 

i try to take what i got and make it a bit diff without having to buy new or break the bank... here is the belt guard... this sucker is 34 years old man, used a large step bit, went up 2 every hole... blasted it down, powder coat ultra black... like brand new with a bit of kick to give the bike that extra touch... I am a big small detals kind of guy.. mainly cuase i dont have the $$$ to go crazy... so i try to keep it clean and subtel...

Damn Joe! Its looking really good!

I will post some pics of that sporty I am working on ......if I ever get home to get started. I am gonna powder coat the front forks and the rear shocks and I am gonna repaint the engine into a Nightster scheme. The drag bars on it are way to small. I am thinking something a little wider with a slight pullback. Will post pics later this week.

 

hell ya show it off!

 

Joe...not to steal your thread....but does this rear cowl look porportional to the tank, or WAY off?
