OK... here we go, here is what i have planned.
first, i am going to tear the wheels off, get the rubber out, and bearings pulled. using this powder on the wheels, it is the match for Vett's burn orange but with a bit of flake... this will be my main accent color on the bike, only the wheels, radiator, overflow, and a few other small odds and ends will get hit with this... everything else will be very dark and flat
everything else for the most part is going to get hit with this color, it is a powder we just love! basicly a semi gloss satin flat black (ya never saw those words togheter to describe a color huh)
for the plastics. First the headlight i am going to cut the brackets that the PO made and clean up all the welds, then i am going to tuck this as close into the trees as i can possibly get it
all the plastic i am going to bust out the air brush... will get sanded, primed, then silver base coat, from there i will airbrush carbon fiber on the whole thing, tank, rear cowl, wind guards (off a touring harley and i am going to make them work), and headlight... down the center of the tank and flat portion on the rear of the cowl, i am going to ghost in skulls, and use a candy orange to accent them and add a bit of color, that all gets burried in clear
front forks, i am going to make full covers for them, i am too cheap to convert to inverted forks (would be nice but cheap and fast on this one) so i am going to take some 3 in exhaust pipe, cut that and basicly sleeve the forks, down tubes will be shot to match the frame, cover in the flat black above.
the frame is either going to get shot in the appliance paint silver, or a wrinkle black... not sure yet cause the engine is staying in the frame on this one! so that sucker is going to stay silver ill just clean the hell out of it, the engine cases will get that black above... i may do the frame in a flat silver but i am not sure yet
trees will be done in the flat black
Go! is getting my seat to recover, do not care what she does, just want something cool
will figure out the under tail as i go, but the over flow on the radiator is going away and being placed on the frame rails in the bottle i am making for it
got new tires, exhaust is almost done (still need to figure out what i am going to do with the can, i do not want to shorten it or mess with that at all, the bike has a jet pro kit in it and runs like a rape ape!)
the whole thing is going down 3 inches... ya i know alot right, but my wife is a shorty and she would flip if she could not ride it... i am sure there will be a bunch of changes but i want to get this in and out fast! i got another harley to build (MINE)
Ill post up my "lift" for the bike tonight... ha ha ha wait till you see how i suspend rockets in the shop, ghetto a bit yes, but super solid and easy to work on them this way!
here are some shots of the bike as it is now (with my new tank cowl on it!)
my biggest pet peeve NO UNDERTAIL, have to fix that!
(top: V&H header that i have coated in high temp gloss black, Left: bottle that i will make my radiator over flow, middle: hand guards, Lower left: new front gear *more off the line*, Lower right: 3.5 lazer cut dog bones, will drop the bike 1 in, 2in, or 3.5 in the rear)
I have worked on rockets before, but not much, here is the last one i built
