Thanks Popeye, I too have worked out the hard way, that a paint job is all about the prep. Had I not messed up previous jobs through poor preparation, I probably would have settled for less by now.
Fingers crossed the paint job comes out sweet.
Still on the to do list;
electrical tray
battery box
need to get a rear sprocket ( in not even quiet sure what rear hub I have, 4 bolt pattern)
send the cylinder and heads away
get the exhaust customised a little to tuck it away more.
Make Chain guard
Anodise top triple and switch gear
Brake lines
Powder coat frame
Lol she’s a few breaks away yet.
Right now I’m trying to clean up this abortion of a garage I have here
I was looking through some of the older build photos there is definitely going to have to be some customisation of the exhaust system.
Unfortunately I will have to get someone else to do that.
It looks bad ass, low and staunch. But it’s going to be impractical when riding, one of the things I wanted to do with this build was put function before form.
It’s difficulty I find that perfect balance. I want Frankenhonda to be a bike I can ride all day still enjoying it. Not like the R1 where I’m just about crippled after 3 hrs on the highway.
So the weather was clear enough for my old man to attempt spraying the tank and seat.
The paint consisted of a white base coat, a pearl and clear coat
First two photos are of the base coat second two are with the pearl
The rest are after the clear coats.
I’m going to have to wait another 3 weeks before I’m home to put them on the bike. I’m hoping it comes up mean after adding the decals and newly upholstered seat
Thanks for the positive feed back I’m pretty excited about getting home so I can put the decals and newly upholstered seat on.
Hopefully it all matches the vision I have in my head
Very nice work! Although you're going a different route with your build, the process reminds me a lot of my own.
You definitly overcome your lack of experience with loads of imagination, creativity and the joy doing what it takes to get where you want.
I'm impressed
