Thanks guys for the compliments..

The bike is near the end of the build process. But will be disassembled in a month or so When it the weather gets above 60 for final paint and polish.

It will get header wrap, but tan...not black

And the seat may very well get paint? I don't know yet... Many little details are likely to change before it's all over.

Again thank for the compliments and suggestions... Very much appreciated!

Go! I'm sure your seat is nice too...

Great work Louie! I know it might be kinda tough, but can you get a pic of the brake light lit up when it's a little darker?

Louie,

that is exactly what I want to do with the exhaust on the 200. What did you use for the tip and did you weld in peices to get the headers down under hte frame?

Ya Diesel.. I had to use 2 sets of headers, sectioned up.... The can if from an F1. Thanks

Twisted... Thanks a bunch. I'm getting pretty excited to wrap this one up. Cant wait to see your bike in it's final stages.

Re: "The Speed Heap" New pics!!!!!!!

Cool, that'll be a good welding project for me the beginner. Doesn't have to be pretty as I will be wrapping the pipes.

 

[Swapmeet Louie]

Well.. Getting down to the nitty-gritty... Wiring for the most part is done and I'm happy w/ it this time around... Wired the bike 3 times now...?
Need a front brake cable, and a chain and I'll be able take it on a little shake down run. Then is tear down for final paint and polish.
Anybody know if I can have my tank powdercoated clear?

Still need, header wrap and cut my seat pad too..

Oh and I tried to teach myself to pinstripe... Didn't go so well, haha. I consider myself fairly artistic, and it's fucking hard... This was my 1st attempt so be nice fuckers
It's not staying. Just figured it was a nice spot to practice on something that has compound curves.

Blair(unkle skeleton) SAFTEY 1ST!

And just hanging out @ the shop

Lookin good brother... This is one cool little fucker. Its taken my buddy years of practice to get "good" with the striping man. Keep at it.

 

[thompsonmx100]

Looks great. I really dig the whole look. The pinstripe ain't that bad.Keep it up

 

[diesel450]

I would keep at it with the striping man, Anything like that takes tons of practice. looks like you have knack though. I've never done that before but it looks like the kind of thing you have to be able to do without thinking about.

Bike looks great! Shop looks fun! I wondered where all the cool kids hung out in Boise.

As far as PC on the tank check with Joe, I think I remember him talking about clear powder and I know he powders tanks.

 

[Swapmeet Louie]

Thanks for the compliments guys...

And Diesel, I dont know about cool. But, we pretend sometimes... haha

Thanks again, Louis

 

[dcmspikes]

yeah this is turning out nice. i like the pipes and the sort of pieced together look.

 

[troybilt]

Really sweet Louie! The bike looks killer! I can't wait to see what you do for paint.
Takes me a while to catch up but its been fun following along. Nice job brother!

 

[CresentSon]

Where did all the pretty pics go?

 

[VonYinzer]

Ok all. Talked to Louie. Shits goin well, and he sent pics of his new digs and the finished Speed Heap:

 

[Big R]

Everytime I see an update on one of these, I think Louie's back.....

Tell him the bike's lookin great and he'll always have a home here Mike! What did he do on the sidecover behind the oil filter cover? Is it paint?

 

[thompsonmx100]

Sweet louie got one of those new houses with the drunk guy in the garage already installed . Wheres he been? Other getting some new digs. The garage looks sweet. Especially like "the Guy". The pipes and shit hanging on the wall is pretty cool too. Tell him to get his ass back on here.
