shes ROLLIN'... but she is DUSTY and DIRTY as hell...had a buddy come by tonight to give me a hand... he rides a BMW adventure (the tank of motorcycles) he is a big dude though but will randomly just get off the road and blast though a field... he wants to do some powder...so we shot a few parts for the T-rex in translucent gold... had to polish them first then shoot them to get the effect... just a few part for the linkage to adjust the wheel and the spacer... everything else got polished... everything.... well give me some ideas! what do you like, not like... hit me up... OH YA, i know about the scratch in the tank... my girl got on the bike and did not know that the bars where not tight, gave them a pull..... right across the tank. ha ha ha good thing i decided to do some tank dents... and i think i am going to shoot the bike in a hotrod flatz flat white... I am really diggin the 19 in front wheel and where my seat ends.... gives it a very long look... bike is dropped 1.5 in the front to make that tire look even bigger and 1 in the back... (yamaha X250 shocks)

sprocket:


standing on her own again


test fit...


try it on for size


even mitch was feeling it


remember the seat will cover the upper rail... so it will be a bit lower to the tire, my duel brake lights will bolt into the hole right behind the shock... one on each side, both working as brake/tail lights



check out the gold wheel spacer
