Here's a pic of the bike I'm working on. I tried a bold color scheme. Thinking about chocolate brown saddlebags. What do you think?

The after looks good!

Wow..."tons" better! Brown is just blah, the after pops. Nice work. What's next?

robdrobd · « **Reply #3 on:** April 08, 2013, 07:32:53 PM »

Need to finish wiring, stainless lines, taillight/fender, velocity stacks...that might be about it

Stev-o · « **Reply #4 on:** April 08, 2013, 07:38:30 PM »

What kind of stacks? I just bought some vintage Action Four's...

Oh yeah, have seen those, very nice. What will you do for a filter?

A tiny mesh screen :0

Silver with a blue pinstripe would look nicer I think.

Haha, maybe next time

Yep.

You've done a fine job. Still thinking of mounting the gauges differently?

You think the bags would work? Maybe I'll give them a try.

I'm in the "no" group as well, the bike looks nice and classic as is but NEEDS a front guard, you'll now why when you get a face full of water , gravel or , heaven forbid, dog sh1t...

seanbarney41 · « **Reply #18 on:** April 11, 2013, 11:46:30 PM »

go ahead and paint the bags...but then just throw them on when you are really gonna need them

robdrobd · « **Reply #19 on:** April 12, 2013, 05:05:36 AM »

I was thinking dark brown leather bags. What about a small cafe fairing?

I think they look a little high, but the clutch cable routing works well in that position. Thinking of turning the idiot panel into some sort of GPS/IPHONE holder.

The bags you have would look great. I'm bagging my project because I really dig the look and I like to be able to carry stuff. The added bonus is the fact that most people don't like them so I'll get some originality points.

If you like the bags, mount em' up.

Your build is oddly similar to what I am working on. I've even been trying to figure out how to paint it tan and you have pulled it off beautifully. Here's a link to my slow moving build thread- http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=80310.0

Tan? More like Raffia Beige? What does the can say Rob?

Fooled again. I can't even count the number of times Raffia Beige has tricked me into thinking it was tan. My age is starting to show.

Color is Rustoleum Ivory Silk

I moved the gauges. The speedo cable wouldn't reach.
