Long weekend....just waiting on the ISO pegs and grips to get here on tuesday and I'll be back on the road. Also gotta get a new grinder (mine took a crap on me this weekend). New tank and a custom made sissy bar comin in a couple weeks....hand polished the fenders and fork tubes as well...


Here she is!

 

looking good.

Are those fenders chromed?

 

Nope, I painstakingly hand polished them, lol. it took a while but it paid off I think. I decided to do the whole bike in a raw finish and go with an old bomber theme for it.

 

I like the raw finish. Your handlebars are wild, not my style, but I like them

 

That tail light is the awesome. Nice lookin' ride you got goin' there

 

Lookin' good 6o66er!!!

 

I'm liking it. Are you going to leave the fenders uncoated? Not sure where you live, but I would think a clearcoat on top of the fenders would help prevent corrosion. Looks good regardless.

 

Actually, I'm gonna paint some "panels" and "rivets" on everything (just waiting on the new tank) and a pinup on both sides of the tank, then let it set for a week or two to get a SLIGHT surface rust going, then clear coat it. It will have that old vintage Bomber look once it's done. Also dabbin a little peroxide here and there to age it a little faster.

For all the accents and tins we're wire brushing anything left shiny and wrinkle blacking the rest. Got a bunch of rebar that we're building a nice lookin low-rise scorpion tail sissy bar out of. I should have pics of all that by next week or the week after.

 

Nice work, man!
