well this is what happens when you give Andrew (little_horse) an idea, a tank, some money and artistic freedom!

just everyone wait until it's painted nice and white with some red accents!!

very nice wannabridin. The tank fins are very art deco, and the knee dents & other metal work are nicely done. Great base, looking forward to seeing it painted.

cooling fins are going to be functional too! :-D as long as they're connected to the main tank, which they are, they'll aid in cooling

i wish i had half of Andrews talents, he surely is AWESOME!!

how the cowl lights will look

man Andrew is great!!

Tintop · « **Reply #204 on:** August 29, 2011, 05:18:49 PM »

You got to put a couple of LEDs in those cutouts. Running lights maybe? A set of glowing eyes looking back.

wannabridin · « **Reply #205 on:** August 29, 2011, 05:38:04 PM »

Andrew and i have talked about that before. i've thought about it too. i'm thinking some extra brake lights would be trick! dual intensity for running and brake would look awesome!

Tintop · « **Reply #206 on:** August 29, 2011, 06:04:00 PM »

There's a side benefit too. Running/brake lights would add a glow to the cutouts at night. Unique look, and added safety.

I like the seat, more for the taillight cutouts than the indents. The oil tank is just badass.

Daaaaaaaaaaaannng......

I KNOW RIGHT?!?!?

Thanks guys

been having a lot of fun building this stuff. It will be even more fun seeing it all finished up and being ridden around.

Does this remind anyone else of BattleStar Galactica?

wannabridin · « **Reply #212 on:** September 01, 2011, 08:06:02 AM »

I thought so too, all it needs is to scan from side to side! Yet another reason I like it!

catsoup · « **Reply #213 on:** September 01, 2011, 02:18:53 PM »

+1 for the cylon, pretty neat. question though, why the indents in the rear?

also the oil tank fins are excellent. looking forward to seeing more progress!

andrew sent me a sketch of what he had in mind (i left him roll with the details) and then he showed me a rough idea, and i liked it. plus they'll go decently well with the knee dents. i think they look a HELLUVA lot better than the standard cafe cowl seats everyone and their dog has. and i should have enough room still for all my electrics in there! it'll def. stand out int he crowd! i just need to figure out how to paint it. it will be white with red accents/stripes (matching the frame)

Tintop · « **Reply #215 on:** September 01, 2011, 04:01:17 PM »

How about a white body, with the indents in red, like the 60/61 Corvette scallops.

wannabridin · « **Reply #216 on:** September 01, 2011, 09:42:33 PM »

I thought about this, i'll need to do a little photochoppin at some point. i think it would look pretty #$%*in, "reversed" like that (ie no white in the center)

what color for a pinstripe to split the red and white up? a dark blue?

Little_Horse · « **Reply #217 on:** September 02, 2011, 11:01:35 AM »

I vote silver or another white pinstripe imbedded in the red. Red white and blue needs to be saved for my Evil K bike

+1 for silver.

wannabridin · « **Reply #219 on:** September 02, 2011, 08:33:02 PM »

Good idea guys. Maybe even match the dark gunmetal paint (cast iron) for the engine cases...

Little_Horse · « **Reply #220 on:** September 02, 2011, 10:26:54 PM »

yes gunmetal I like that too

fastbroshi · « **Reply #221 on:** September 03, 2011, 03:06:13 AM »

Nooooooooooooo! Not another grey bike.....

Tintop · « **Reply #222 on:** September 03, 2011, 05:24:03 AM »

Read the whole post - white with red, & possible silver accents.

wannabridin · « **Reply #223 on:** September 03, 2011, 09:30:55 PM »

Haha, it won't be gunmetal, just might have some of the engine cases that color

catsoup · « **Reply #224 on:** September 04, 2011, 06:51:02 AM »

I think reversed will look awesome. if you do it white with red indents, with that tail light, its going to look like a dinosaur head or something with big red eyes
