My hobby is repairing/modifying bikes. Have few Harleys, Victories, and Ducati. Working on this 2008 FLSTC wreck with 7K miles. Putting a gold plated front shocks, custom tripple trees, lowering front and rear shocks, Dacota digital speedo, New Red candy paint with gold flake job etc. Dont plan to put saddle bags, backrest etc.
Spent two four hour sessions so far deflowering the front end, removing tins and painting.

 

Was the previous owner texting and riding?

 

Shocks and the painted tins. They look way better than the pics show(to me!!).

 

Looks good. It seems you are painting with the use of a booth. Is that working out ok.

 

Sorry, I mean without a booth?

 

Looks like that Softail was wounded, but coming back for more. Any color is better then the DuraCell

 

Three tins can be done without a booth. I have done it in the backyard too!!

 

I did mine in a garage, hung some plastic sheeting from the ceiling , cracked the door open a tad and a cheap box fan with a filter on the intake side sucking air out of the work area. Didnt have any dirt or anything in the paint, came out just fine.
