Heres my bike, wanted to see what you fellas thought about it. Its a 2008 nightster. that started out olive drab and black.


Heres some Before shots.






After









Close up of the color..... it's not paint.




Here you can see a little bit of the gold flake



so what do you think?

 

Dude, awesome! Only thing I'd like better is if you'd do the oil/battery covers the same as the other tins. (and if you'd put the F'U' timer cover back on)

 

I'm diggin it good job

 

I'm unsure what to do with the battery covers. I'm really thinking about coating them a satin black. but the valve covers are going to be done the same as the tins. and about the FU cover.. I have a Logo on it now. I ground it down and had it CNC'd i'm also going to be building new pipes for it pretty soon.

thanks man!





edit: i also have a 21" front wheel and a 18x4.5 with a 200mm tire on it to be fabbed up! i can't wait till i ahve time to work on that!

 

bada$$! really like the Coors caps over the shock bolts.

 

Nice job! That seat kicks ***.

 

Cool bike. I have one comment....the sissy bar is OK, but without any sort of passenger seat it makes it kind of redundant, just IMHO. The bike has nice lines and the gold flake is original.

Question: Is that exhaust custom? and I'm thinking it must be hella loud.

good for you - happy riding.

 

The powdercoating is really a mix of 3 diffrent powders I came up with in my shop. It's highgloss clear with gold flake and some orange in it.. The exhaust is built by me. As is everything else on the bike that's after market. We do everything in house.
Thats all I can say due to me not being a sponsor on this site yet. But we are working on that. And yes it's Hella loud but it has tq cones installed in it along with all the motor work done to the bike.. It freaking flys

 

I really like it! The color of the tins is unique and the sissy bar is pretty cool. One question for you... Does the rear tire rub the fender? It looks like the fender is really close for running shocks.

 

So your tank is powdercoated? It looks like bare metal. VERY COOL. I have been looking for a spare tank and fenders to do something with. I was actually thinking about getting them chromed, or taking them down to bare metal and polishing them up. Bike looks awesome!
