been busy over the past week... but got the tires ordered... and the title came in the mail this week!

 

Joe, that looks SOOOOOO sick bro. I can't wait to see this thing finished up. Keep posting up pics man!

 

impressive stuff as always. Between this, the goldwing cafe and the green goldwing tourer you've definitely done a collection of unique takes on some otherwise generic stuff.

 

thanks bud! hope to get the tires on tonight

 

so... my brother and i saw this you tube vid of this guy puttin on a tire with a trash bag!!!! a trash bag! so figured lets give it a go... man we laughed so hard... took him about 3 min to do it on the video... and us about 35 min with the 2 of us and tire irons... was very funny! i think in the future ill just bring them in the shop and use the machine
these tires are BOSS! look insane just the look he wanted. snapped some pics
tire on


took a bit more than just a trash bag






we then took a profile of the bike to get an idea of what to do on the seat... here is the stock seat... we will prob do something custom of course


no seat

 

Damn dude this bike is turning out great. Can't wait to see the finished product.

 

little update...
we got a roller!!!


motor cleaned ready for primer



stuck this in the oven at 150* for about and hour and 1/2
low gloss black


will pull strip and blast the cases, coat them in low gloss black and caution yellow... then a night of re assembly and wiring and this sucker is done! (well all but the seat) we are prob just going to have a professional do that. My brohter and i have like $100 total into this bike and that is just mainly in tires and tubes... so dropping some cash on a seat is not to bad

 

alright! the end is in sight!
Got a call the seat is done... sucks they did it without calling or letting us know a price or asking how we want it finished... so that is prob up in the air!
but got the rest of the powder work done, motor in the frame and basicly assembled


motor done


motor in






beer bottle opener check


exhaust wrapped and on

 

Seat is done

 

Looks slick. I like the speed holes and the seat a lot. The bottle opener is a nice touch too, haha. I really liked the chrome fenders but the whole project is looking great now
