Have you picked out the clear coat for your frame?

No I haven't. I maybe am having it powder coated clear. Not sure . Really depends on funds

Something fuel resistant that won't wash away or discolor if fuel or oil gets on it is where I'm going with this suggestion.

Makes sense. Would probably have to order something like that as I can't see getting it locally

I understand the 2K clear is really good, but I've never used it. I've read it's nasty stuff and respirators and full paint suits are recommended. You don't even want to expose your skin to it.

I am not setup for painting so I think to do it properly I would want to hire someone to paint it or do powder coated. I think i prefer powder coated

I'm not up on the latest clear powder coats, I'll bet there's something to fit your needs these days.

This bike is my inspiration for the raw frame. I won't be going all black with the engine. I plan to do brushed aluminum looking covers on the engine.

Cool. I'm not sure about the exposed welds, but thats me. Getting it done your way is the goal.

That is actually what I really dig. Warts and all kinda muscle bike

Perfect then. Is your seat as wide as stock or is it narrower showing off the frame rails?
