Default 86 Rigid Re-Build (Pics)
Well, I am almost done re-building my bike (1986 Evo). Needs paint still, but that will wait till the end of summer.

I'm not into whale (black & white) paint jobs, but that would look really cool on your bike.

Hmm..... now that is an idea! What are you thinking, white fenders and tank, then black parts? Just gettin' ideas. I really like the shade of red that is on there, but that might not be a bad idea!

Unlike my taste in women, I dig short, fat and squat scoots. I really like what you're doing.

Thanks megawatt... though I have to give the credit to my old man since I tried to keep it as he had originally built it. I like this style as well, in fact, the boss (wife) and I are considering building another one similar for her. She finds this one pretty easy to ride, since it is pretty low.

No I was thinking more like the Shamu look. Check out Sea World for whale patterns.
