Wow! That root beer color is insane!! What’s the actual color or paint code?
No paint code, this stuff comes on a roll by the yard haha. You ought to see it in the evening sun, glows almost gold. The color is from KPMF, it's Copper Black Starflake. Google it, its awesome! |
Ohhhh. I didn’t realize that part was also wrap haha
|
Thanks for the details on the vinyl. That color is awesome. I need to get some prices and see if having mine wrapped is feasible.

800'ish? And you say the life expectancy is what?
And maintenance(washing and detailing) guidelines. Thanks |

Bike looks fantastic!!! Would love to know more about the vinyl wrap process, where to find it and how much it costs to do a project like this.
:icon_toast: |
Well sorry to hear of your initial challenges (albeit good learning I guess), but your bike looks fantastic, really nice and creative. What next do you think? A bike that good looking is just screaming for a bigger engine yknow...

I'm going to go ahead and apologize in advance for some grungy, dim garage pictures haha, but lets jump into it;
School and work have both picked up lately, so I haven't had much time to spend in the wind. Originally I had no plans for bags, I couldn't stand the look of them, but after riding with just my school back pack, I broke down and started piecing together what I wanted. After scouring eBay, I found a Harley bags and 90 bucks later they were headed my way. Now i know what you're thinking, "90 bucks for a pair of bags is cheap, they cant be worth anything", I thought that too haha. They showed up a week(ish) ago, here they are: https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.hdf...06b0a4fe88.jpg The right side bag has a little rash on it, it doesn't bother me all that much. I knew that when I put bags on my bike, I would have to move my turn signals, which I was reluctant to do. I ended up finding my solution in the form of a Moons MC tail light with integrated blinkers. I miss my signals on the fender struts but Moons did a very good job on quality, it fit as it should, was super bright, and I didn't habe to use resistors as I had no "hyperflash". For brackets, I just went with Easy Brackets from Great Bike Gear that I could keep my quick detach sissy bar with, if I ever use it. Only thing I don't care for much is how far the brackets push the bags off the bike, it's a little excessive but all is well. Very nicely made product. So that left me with this: https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.hdf...3a787eebd9.jpg The quick detach pieces on the fender strut aren't too bad, an easy sacrifice to make for having bags that I can have off in seconds. Only gripe is how far they stick out when retaining the sissy bar mounts. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.hdf...daa75c236a.jpg The bag side brackets are super nice, and work very well. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.hdf...60f248ecdb.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.hdf...cb883911a7.jpg The taillight is super bright, turn signals and tag light both are as well. Really a plug and play kinda deal, and no need to add resistors, at least in my case. This option was more attractive to me than doing the signals on a tag bracket. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.hdf...52c4a36e72.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.hdf...561b42d85d.jpg Now comes the iffy part haha, when I found my bags, I also found a NOS red caliper that seemed to be a pretty good deal and thought it'd be kinda cool, so I got it headed my way. Took a break from Accounting homework one night to put it and new front pads (Paid $53 bucks for genuine HD pads, should've just went with EBC) on the bike, ended up with this: https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.hdf...40319e77f6.jpg It's growing on me slowly, would've looked better on a different colored bike maybe but anyways I go the brakes bled, and that's it for now. It's not really much of a "build" but more of just a thread to keep up with progress and maybe to help someone given the opportunity. The next thing I plan on doing is bars, I think I'm going to go with Biltwell products, probably 10" Murdock Risers and their Mid Height Tracker Bars. Anyways, thanks again for viewing! |
