For sure man! I think that blue would go great with it. I'm spraying laquer, so take note if it's that or enamel if you could. Thanks!

 I know they sell those "austin powers" teeth somewhere.

Maybe a matching helmet and a cheap rwb jacket and a cape, ala Evil Knievel.





And a preview of the pinstripe mockup before sending to dad's HVLP gun for an easy clearcoat!




Mounting the rearsets tomorrow, and finishing the seat today!

Nothing since May?  Where are the updates?

Hey all,

I've moved in with my girlfriend who has underground parking. We both thought her parking spot would be a place to finish the bike, but we were pointed to the association bylaws that say no vehicle maintenance in the underground parking. I'm totally screwed until I can find a garage nearby to rent! Looking feverishly.

What's left on the bike:

Install Headlight
Install Blinkers
Tidy Wiringharness
Readjust shifter linkage
Figure out rear brake linkage
Re-True Front Wheel
Replace front brake rebuild kit, as I ripped the last one.
Repaint rims (damn you brake fluid leakage.)
Proper mounting bolts for seat hump
Hinge pin for seat and mount latch.
Have exhaust welded on, and figure out how it's going to get around the damn brake pedal.

I just got my camera back in working order, so I'll take a pic of it after the clearcoat and decals were put on. It's not perfect, but it looks good.
