I really honestly have no idea what I'll ever do with this bike. It's like i'm raising a kid.
I don't pressure it and it just kinda develops into it's own little ball of awesome.
I am making a support bracket for the exhaust, and light assemblies but other than that. *shrug*
It's all on a whim.

Best kind of builds. Planned ones take years to complete. I'm an example of that.

lol least you get to ride your bike spike.

I was the dumbass who took his all apart and then let my life get in the way.

Fire is no excuse. Don't even try. I read the thread. That's a journey. Not life.

I'm gettin the itch again. Do they make a powder for SOHC4 sickness?

noahspop · « **Reply #792 on:** September 04, 2009, 01:25:18 pm »

i'm just curious how home you didn't just take the tank off to paint it?
i do dig the color scheme though.

Industrial Cafe · « **Reply #793 on:** September 04, 2009, 02:45:06 pm »

lazy.

Inkscars · « **Reply #794 on:** September 04, 2009, 02:50:59 pm »

Last time I took off my gas tank to paint it it got smashed.
I was just supposed to touch up the green and couldn't find the can. I honestly wasn't going to paint it black. then I laid some tape down to see what it would look like with an offset stripe, and couldn't get it straight, then i laid down another piece of tape to see about making it wider, and I couldn't without making it skinnier and then it just clicked. I moved the inside stripe to the other side of the tank and my buddy went "YEEEEEESSSSSSS DOOO IT!"

So i did. My boyfriend came out and said, what are you doing to it!
I said, uhhh. making it cooler.

Oh, and laziness, a full tank of gas, and a petcock that doesn't shutoff all the way.
Come on. I had 30 minutes to work with.

Frankenkit · « **Reply #795 on:** September 04, 2009, 04:00:52 pm »

give the girl a break, I woulda done the same thing! Actually, I did just that today (er, the exact opposite) to protect my tank from fork and/or brake fluid. 8 points for ingenuity and 9 for effectiveness.

wow... it's been a while since I checked in on your build, and it looking great. I really like the stripe, and the seat is going to be cool.

The gas tank looks cool as hell with the black thrown in there

Inkscars · « **Reply #799 on:** September 06, 2009, 09:32:35 pm »
