http://www.custombikepaint.com/ Tracey.. he paints a lot of the bikes for builders in the Twin Cities area... lives like 3 miles from me and is a buddy of my brother in-law his own bike he built is the orange one with marble inlays... he has 2 custom sport bikes now.. a his and hers...
Pretty crazy looking, Though i'm a sportbike guy myself, I can respect a custom chopper, not some stump that walked into a harley dealer and bought a sportster and consider themselves different. Sweet project man.
nice bike if I had the time I would try fabbing up something... but I am not a bike builder lol. looks like you have a nice coat of sunburst candy on there. is she already painted or were you planning on doing something else? I have a set of tins in the basement right now i'm working on... with school and work its hard to get down on projects as of late.. (just ask pedevore...) what were you gonna do?
the sunburst candy color one is curts the guy helping me 1 out of 8 of his bikes lol im not sure on the color for mine yet but as time goes on and i start to see her shape i will come up with some nice color or so but untill then i dont have a clue ..and thanks
how much do you have into it so far? Wouldn't mind doing a bike build some year... and skulls.... skulls get ladies. very much can't lie about that one. skulls get the girls, fire gets the guys.
lol well the frame and the motor was the kicker the motor alone was about 5,500 trans was 1,400 fram was the same as the tranny rims and tire both were about 750 fenders i have not clue cus my guy gave them to me so that helped ..the drag bars i made at the shop ill get some pics of them too there pritty wicked .....there is more to the bike that is what i have for now ..... im not a flame guy im a skull guy the top part of my hand is one big skull lol
also what tubing benders and brakes (metal bender) and shear you guys use?? I am looking into some myself eventually
well my dream is now for you to hook me up with a supermodel.... lets join together and help make that happen.
No worries dude, some of us aren't complete Subaru nuts and actually appreciate and/or own other brands of car. Looks like it's gonna be a nice bike.
I just soiled my underwear... I want to learn how to fabricate more stuff... I am sick of working on cars (ie daily grind repetitive) but want to tinker and learn, make stuff...
you coming onto me I would love to come and watch sometime... I am new to this sort of thing, but have built a bunch of exhausts for the club guys, and have just purchased a Syncrowave 250DX to learn TiG... I am slowly adding equipment to be able to make stuff..
yea man just lmk its fun makeing **** that ppl would love to have cus it make your work more appreciated..
nice man, I have some buddies in Chicago that build bikes. i was always jelous of the work they did. Keep us updated with the progress!
Something about that shape makes me think of ancient egypt...lol looks like someone has some skills...can't wait to see more progress.
Damn, your building something i've always wanted I love them things. Maybe when I start my Rat Rod Project you can help me out. Dave
true.. but if it needs some major work due to a drop?? cant just replace the tank as easy either nice work too
