..figured it was time to dump the walley world flat black. Powder coat on the frame, and Duplicolor Santa Fe Tan on the tins/oil tank. Ebay decal for a flame

Hated to cheap out on the flame, but couldn't bring myself to drop the dough it would take to get it done right. Also addition of sissy bar to the rear.

I agree. Curious as to what the rear wheel is off of?

mark,when did you paint it tan/beige,looks good

Lumbee · « **Reply #4 on:** August 09, 2007, 08:08:19 AM »

...I started tearing it down last october, and I'm just now getting it back together...so about 8 months now. The rear wheel is off a 90's yami FZR 600. Its a good choice if you'r looking for a sport bike rear wheel...lines right up with the 750...just gotta cut your spacers...

dusterdude · « **Reply #5 on:** August 09, 2007, 08:38:58 AM »

is that yami wheel a 17?

nice butch... er um... chop! i normally wouldn't go for it, but this one is different. great work.

Lumbee · « **Reply #7 on:** August 09, 2007, 08:56:42 AM »

...pretty sure its a 17...holds a 150 rear tire.

...that for the complement Heffay...my rule is I don't chop stockers that are in restorable shape. Bike looked like this when I got it:

Wow! Nice work (and very careful attention to detail). I like the look. How does it ride? Any pics with you on it? I always like to see how choppers look when someones on it.

cheers

What all has been done to that frame? I like the way it looks so far. I see the seat rails were dropped. Anything added to the front tubes? And what is that swingarm from or did you extend it?

I'm not normally into choppers but that looks quite cool Mark, like the Lumbee genny cover

Nice chop.

And I'm liking that silver/blue cafe as well. Where'd you get the fairing?

Hey Mark, Like hef and Sam, I'm not much on the Choppers but,you have created a REALLY NICE ride!

I mean, you've got a really nice style going there and everything comes together SO nicely!

Even the flame decals! Great job there!

Later on, Bill
