My 2008 Crossbones used to look like this:



I decided to shake things up a bit and now it looks like this:



My painter just sent some pics of the painting and gold leaf process for the smoothed tank and the Heartland fender:







Still to go is the pinstriping outline for the graphics and more gold leaf and pinstriping for the top of the tank and fender. Then final layers of clear.

Seat pan/battery cover, horn cover, and head light also getting paint and striping. Should be installing next week. Cylinders and heads are back and ready to install, now 107 cu in with Woods cams.

Pinstriping is done! Now it gets buried in clear, then sand and buff.
