Man I would love to get my tins media blasted and then put a translucent paint on like you had with the red, I was super into that look. Can't do it on mine though since the previous owner did some shitty DIY dent repair/bondo work on my tank. I think a really deep blue would look killer.
Over the weekend, I painted the wheels and fork lowers.
For anyone interested, the clear coat over the raw metal lasted about six months. There are places on the rear fender where there is rust under the clear. You can even see water under the clear in places where the clear is lifting from the fender. The tank is fine, but there is a little rust on the front fender tip.
Next week, the tins are getting the satin black treatment.
What made you go with the Fat Bob drags over the MX-T style you had?
At the time I made the switch, I was having some shoulder problems. The shoulders much better now though.
Now that it's be lowered the bars, I realized how much better the bike handled. It's more in line with an MX bike which I've raced for over 35 years.
I honestly don't see myself going any taller than where I'm at now. I haven't measured it but it's somewhere around 8 inches. I can ride it all day and it feels like it can carve around anything.
