I love it when some people bring back a worn out bike and make it a trojan

Well ended up getting the tin work all done. Fixed every ding and dent worked out and filled and shaved my rear fender as well. Paint is a Dode color, Natural Green Pearl. We tinted it a bit darker as to give it a black appearace unless its in direct sun, then theres a bunch of micro flake in it. Looks great, really deep. Ill have to get some pictures in the sun once its out here. Been raining for 2 days straight.

New seat is on the way. Took the easy route and went with e LePera bare bones, they just cant be beat for a solo. Also new bars and Ill finish killing all the controls on the bars. No electronics up there for me. Throttle, clutch, brake. Thats it. Heavily considering going to a 21" front wheel. Im going to throw one on for grins soon and then decide. Thanks for checking in!!

Very nice. I'm not crazy about the seat, but love the rest of it.

Yeah, like i said that seats as good as gone. It was a quick fix a few months back when I was expirementing with building a seat pan. Im leaving it to the pros haha.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. Im looking forward to more progress and MUCH more saddle time coming up.

Looks cool... like the RKC Fender trim in back. Hook us up with pics in the sun so we can see the pearl.
