Can you do the CF on the motor??

Are you serious? That would not be cool at all! That would for sure tell any onlooker thet the CF is not real! Kills the effect altogether!

Sorry hillsy, not bashing or trashing you dude! Just putting out the point!
 
Has she read all of these post? If not I believe she should, to help her visualize the overall picture! It's always the womans call is'nt it!
 
ha ha ha actually she is on here just as much as i am, just does not chime in... she has read it...she thinks that you and i would build alot of the same style bikes, ha ha ha... she was setting up my airbursh gear last night. she wants me to shoot some sample pieces so after the wheels are done she will have all 3 colors to see it a bit better. she does have an eye for bikes... kind of makes guys uncomfortable when she starts to talk about scoots very funny... last summer she corrected a guy when he said this pan head was nice, she told him it was an evo and went on to describe how to tell the difference... ended it with "if you can not tell by the sound alone maybe you should not be on a harley"
it ws dead silent afterwards... this old fat dude just started to clap... it ws very funny!

Dude you're funny - it's not real CF anyway ;D
 
be dope if it was... a CF motor, i would be rich! every race company in the world would be jocking me! my buddy owns the pattent to allero motors, you should see his house! every time a nascar goes on the track his bank gets fatter!
 
well my paints all showed up yesterday... the silver came without the reducer i ordered, or the flex... the air brush paints where almost right, they sent me translucent yellow gold instead of orange, as well as dark blue/black instead of an opeq black.... what a mess! not to mention that it took them almost 9 days to ship it when i paid 19 dollars shipping from CA, that is a joke! ooh well...
 
how about an update! The wheels base coat is done. we have developed a technique for wheels that involves cross linking two coats of the final color. This allows for all the advantages of two coat film thickness without any of the orange peel or other imperfections typical of two coats. Coverage is 100% even, zero thin spots in nooks and crevices, which greatly enhances both appearance and durability, and also smoothes out and hides cast finishes completely.
Basicly this gets rid of all the ugly casting marks and leaves the finish perfectly smooth without any imperfections

since there is alot to be shot on this bike... we are curing a tester bottle right now with the top coat, this will allow us to check our mil thickness and get that set before shooting wheels. This will ensure that they are perfect! this will also make when we do the rest of the parts for the bike a bit faster cause we will know what to shoot it all at! final pics next!!!
 
Oh so sweet man! This is going to be the best fighter built on this site for sure!

Your girl is the shit! If yall split the sheets, would you mind if I called her? ;D
Just kidding, my girl does not care about anything mechanical at all, she tells people thats why she is marring me! So she will have someone to worry with that stuff for her! Does not really bother me though, thats where I get the me time and the friend time when Alex and I work together!

Build is looking sick Joe! Keep it up!
 
no that is hot flocking... that is great for fairaday areas but is not something we do because you can not really get good even coverage and without a mill guage you will not have smooth lines doing that... we cross linking two coats of the base coat, as it flows out and comes out so smooooooooth, it is some work to do but easier than sanding the hell out of the rims to get rid of it. i do not recomend hot flocking on wheels shooting cold is the best way to go
 
twisted maria was the same way, till i wanted to build a solo seat bike, so i signed her up for the class... she loved it! then gave her free reighn on her bike design, told her that if she can come up with the idea i will make it happen, and did... now she loves it... plus basicly everyone i know and hang out with is into bikes, kind of what my family lives, thinks, and breathes.... well it is an obsession for me, and my friends and family know that, and except that... ha ha ha my brother actaully said "for anyone to love my brother as much as you do, with his unnatural obsession for motorcycles it is a pleasure to welcome you to our family... he thinks about 2 things all the time, bikes, and i think the two of you have the other covered already" that was in his bestman speach ha ha ha
 
and this is the final product of propper prep and powder... look at that! SMOOOOOTH as glass! no casting marks at all!!!!
came out perfect!

Damn Joe, that looks spectacular! Really impressive how smooth they came out.
How rough were they?
 
thanks swag, a few pages back, there is a picture of them stripped and you can realy see how rough they where before
 
I'll ping you on a project I need powder for. I just don't have the cash to throw down on my own equipment yet so it's good to have DTT brothers with strong talent!
