Are those antique tins on that bike, or did you paint and artifically age a set? I honestly cannot tell the difference by the picture, but it looks amazing regardless.
It's awesome what can be done with this platform, which makes it hard to see them being discontinued. Glad I got mine though, and i should have some pictures up later next week after I finish the exhaust and round 1 of the motor blackout.
The tins were painted that way. It is 4 base coats with 3 clear coats, sanded down in certain areas to give the worn or distressed look. Here are a few more pics. Thanks for the comment.
I have to echo what fordaith said. Both of your bikes look great and demonstrate just how much fun having a crossbones is. There are so many directions you can go with the style and look. Great job!!!
