Re: 360 dragger/bobber brat what ever
To my design team, Thank you, thank you, thank you! I really couldn't do this with out you. Honestly! I have to say, it looks better in person than it does in the photos. I've been like a little kid. Haven't been this stoked in a long, long time!
Funny thing is a couple of friends came by and said that if they had to pick 'my' bike out of a line up of 1,000 bikes this would be it. Pretty cool. Guess we are on the right track! This thing kinda feels like it's a tattoo!
I agree totally with what everyone is saying. Kanticoy is sending me a new bucket so that will get painted and put on. Not sure if if will be black or tank color. I'll try paints on my crappy one first. However, I hope the bike is on the road by the time it gets here. Should be easy to paint and swap out once it arrives.
I plan to throw some paint on the old fender tomorrow just to take a look. Clear will be here tomorrow as well so I hope to get that done.
I may rotate the fender forward. When I do that the struts will get longer because of the angle. I can drop the fender back down closer to the tire with brass sleeves. I'd like to paint the struts black and use brass wing nuts to secure it.
Boom, that could be pretty cool. It could make it a little more interesting. We'll see what happens.
Malloy, Thanks for the tips on the clear spray. I can't wait to get it on.
Joe, i agree with everthing you said. i went back out and took a long look at the seat. It is prettyunique. And so is the tank. So they need to stay as is. I really think the bucket and fender is throwing it off. I removed the fender and it looked better. However, I'm not going to paint the fender until I take the tape off the tank lid to see if it helps. However, by then I will have the junky fender painted so I may already have an answer.
Maritime, I can't wait to get this thing on the road. I love your thinking about ripping up the roads while laying on the lace! Good stuff.
If i can get her done there is a show right in my town in two weeks. That wiould be pretty cool.
Goodfornothing, Yep i'm fast. Haha, actually I had everything ready to go i just needed a little push to go forward.
Kanticoy, thank you so much! Man you rock. Without all those parts this thing would still be sitting up on blocks ;D Bro, I'll get a pm out to you at first chance. My kid is standing over my shoulder to get on here. His grades depend on it. Earlier, I wasn't quite fast enough and my wife left without me. haha, But I made it up for it by making dinner. ;D Hope that last for awhile. I hope to jump back on here later on and I'll respond to your pm then. Good stuff bro. good stuff!
