** PICS OF MEMBERS RIDES ** - Official Before & After Thread

Don't have a true "before" pic- when I rescued it from a shed, but the before is how I rode it after the initial rebuild 13 years ago- rode like that for 7-8 years, then started the cafe treatment about 4 years ago. The after is how she looked for Cleveland MvR in Aug. I've since replaced the turn signals with smaller LED units. It never stops...

Before ( not a great pic)

Thanks John. Should have done it right the first time and saved some money correcting all my errors! haha

glenhunn, I am a firm believer in "whatever puts a smile on your face" and can appreciate all the work you put into that build.... but damn that sure was a nice "Before".
That's actually a picture of a bike like mine started out as... I didn't think to take a before picture... but I assure you it was almost identical and as nice. I can still here my dad saying "It just looks to me like you are cutting up a perfectly good bike.".
 
Green199, I dig those gold pinstripes. (Gold right? Hard to see in the picture for sure)
Clean and simple. I'm considering doing gold and black stripes on an antiqued off white tank
and fenders.

Ton Up, Nice work on that Viagra holy hell, ugly duckling to swan for sure.

All I'm saying is: Ha!

Good job fellas, there are some nice bikes around here.
 
Painted exhaust, now just need mirror(s), and polish lip of front rim and it will be done.
