Ink-Sent you an email back man. Got a pic of the light blazing. I'll PM you about postage.
Finally getting pics up of the engine painted. Not impressed with the pics at all but it's the best I can do with a Samsung lol. Totally impressed with the paint...it's smooth, clean, matte finish is awesome. Hope it holds up. The bike is completely filthy at this point so no one judge me lol not there yet. Hopefully start putting her back together soon. Still waiting on parts from PC
Got some light surface rust behind the front pulley. Gonna sand n paint that too. The light does the engine no justice
Talk about a cheap *** coating on my cam cover lol painters tape pulled it off lol. Will be doing all the covers later. Thought about matching the patina'd brass look on my forward controls but not sure if it would be too much

Nice man! I'm impressed with the amount of photos you've got up in a short time lol. I vote no on painting the cam cover in brass. Smaller details in brass on the engine would be nice like push rod collars, hose fittings etc
Heard that. I had thought about it a few times but I really think it would kill the look I'm after. I've seen other ppl PC theirs and it look good but I don't think it would compliment mine. Besides, I don't wanna go nuts with the brass.
Not to be an a$$ but you spent all that cash on parts,dug that deep into the bike and then commence to rattle can the the entire motor and all in the frame..Even a Rat bar hopper scoot done right wouldn't deserve that.As long as your cool with it I guess that's whats matters but damn.I would've maybe done the case but IMOP the blond motors are cool when done up right.
Looks pretty good for spraying it in the frame..Time will tell how long it holds up. The blonde motors are ok, I guess he could have just painted the chrome stuff black and the push rods would have to be black and the...you get the picture! LOL...
No harm done man. Negative criticism doesn't bother me, everyone has an opinion but then again that's why we have our own bikes. I've seen guys who sprayed theirs (in the frame) that turned out bitchin and still look good. Hope this holds up bc I went the extra mile
Haven't had a chance to do much but I got a bunch of my stuff back from PC. If you are in Central Louisiana, give Chris a call at Extreme Custom Coatings, top notch work. Hopefully will have the front end on tonight and finish up the intake.
Just a thought for anyone wanting to go aftermarket trees, I gotta say I really like Accutronix, although I don't seem to hear as much about them as Pro 1, Hawg Halters etc. Neat clean setup and pretty straightforward. Solid billet.
