Alain thanks man, yeah I think it's going to look a treat once all together

Haha G can just imagine how she got that name. Thanks, I haven't painted in at least 12-13 years and even then back then I was still only learning. I worked in a panel and paint old school chop shop back then so I learnt enough to give me a head start. I'm going to start playing around with painting to start expanding my skills

Hellbilly it's a business my misses and I are starting up. Towards the end of the year we are going to start buying up a few bikes and more equipment and to begin with we're going to start messing around with bikes. We live in a town where Harley Davidison shop is the only place to get a custom bike, and everyone now rides identical bikes. I've been mining for 10 years now and I'm sick of working away, I want to do something I enjoy doing.
We've put a ton of planning into it, we are just waiting to move into our new place later this year before we get things started

On another note, got my new battery and charger in man the antigravity battery's are light, this one is at least 1/8th the weight of my old one. It also gives me more room in the battery compartment to hide more crap in

New battery and charger in, this thing is about 1/8th the weight of the factory size battery, and now I got ample room to hide more **** in the battey compartment

LOL ink I'm sure you can let you're imagination run wild on her name.
I like that battery,got to look into them.what cold crank amps do they put out?That would fit better in my new oil tank.
You'll do good with your ride as shop advertisment.You've got some talent that would be much more appreciated by others than your mine job. **** go for it all.

Hey G I'll have to look up the booklet that came with it, see if it has cold cranking amps specs in there. There are bigger models then this one so either way there would be one that's suit you I'd imagine.

Really appreciate the support with the shop too mate. You mentioned how good the gloss orange tank amongst flat black works together. Youre not wrong!

Just looked at the mock up picture of the tank. Il throw and idea your way, it would be nice if you could work in some kind of pin stripe highlight with the same color as the tank on the air cleaner or the backing plate.

A nice line with that orange color on the inside of the stack would look **** in my opinion.

What would it look like if you blacked out the tank mounting bracket above the front cylinder?
