X2 Ink - here's another vote for a loud, wild, custom and quality paint job for the bike when it's completed.

Pete "Hot Dog" Finlan (former painter for WCC) lays down some ridiculously awesome paint. Boosted Brad has also turned out some killer paint jobs too.

Here are a few pics for motivation:

 

Bike is a beaut, tank is badass. Bike just needs one thing... A springer front...

 

SKT that ***** delicious!


That'd do it for me too

 

...and yes colorful looking tins are cool, but black is way cooler!

 

****! That green train is wild !!! That clean neck does a hell of a lot for the looks too. Looks like he welded a small gusset in there to keep the strength up to par.

I know one of the rocker guys cleaned up his neck like that and didn't weld anything back into it, just left it clean. I think it was Micahop if you wanna reach out to him ink and see what he thought about it. That's if you're planning on going that route.

I don't know about the rest of you but I'm glued to this thread man. Keep that progress going ink.

 

I try to imagine my self on one these ultra cool works of art. And even though passer by's be goin "wow" and whoa"? I'd just be thinkin, "WTF"?
These are great show bikes for sure! Can't really say more than that.
Just gimme a totally ratted rigid or soft tail with combinations of blk pwdr, brushed alluminium and a bit of brass accents here and there and I'm stylin.

Now ask me if I would love to own customs such as those? And I can only answer, sure!
Maybe sumpn like this...

 

+1 for color!!


And it's a springer :-)







and your build is awesome Ink!!!

 

Thanks fellas!

I'm digging all these bikes and ideas you guys are throwing up.

I think I have just about everything on the way. I'm still looking for mirrors (I'd rather none), headlight bracket to sit the light right, possible new headlight if the daymaker I have is too big.

 

hey inked i was wondering what you are doing with your seat pan. it is tight getting the computer under there and maintaining the low profile look. i was considering buying a smaller battery for mine and making another seat pan.

 

I was going to try a smaller battery too, and depending on room, either try cram it down beside the smaller battery or behind the splash guard. I got 2" springs that have been resets lower.
Would like to hard mount it, but it looks like it'll interfere to much with the rocker two up seat I got for it. I may reset the springs again even lower until it's close to being as low as a hard mount. The seat is probably one of the last things I'll look at once everything is coming together.

I know what you guys are thinking about the two up rocker seat. Yes ugly as ****, but I ride solo 90% of the time, but I want the option of still being able to take the misses places on it. I ride every day I can, cutting the two seat option off completely would mean I'd have to take the car whenever we do **** together and that sucks *****. I want swing arm fender mount, but I need two up option open, so this was the option I took
