I also cut some tank stripes out of brass sheet and paints them to match the headlight shroud. I’m not sure about them. The blue doesn’t really contrast as nicely with the raw tank as the polished brass did. I may pick up a paint pen and try a white outline. My friend just picked up all the pin striping materials, so if it looks right, I can make it into something worth having on there.
Dunno. Into feedback.
I also made a custom desert water bag. It still needs a light wax (I used cotton duck instead of linen duck, so it leaks a bit more than it should. With oboe 1.25 L of capacity that means it’s empty after a long ride, which isn’t the point. I’ve added straps to tie it to the headlight ears or for triple tree. It sits lightly on the front fender. The goal is a bit of a seamp cooling effect. And, it’s badass tech that we’ve just abandoned for shit powered byelectricity. Electricity is lazy as fuck.
