Yo BMX ... Let me know when you get that new seat, I wanna buy your old one. My Rich Phillips seat makes my ******* go numb on any ride longer than 30min... And I'm sure that's not healthy hahaha

Bmx, your bike looks ****. I'm excited to see how it turns out.

This one makes me want to vomit though. Pipes especially.

Thanks man. I wish I could afford a real paint job like that. They do beautiful work but I'm afraid my budget is tapped for this year. Trying to figure out how to do something decent and inexpensive. That might be an oxymoron when it comes to motorcycle paint but we'll see. I don't need nuttin fancy to get it on the road asap...

Completely opposite direction of what I want to do with my bike, but I think their ideas are cool. Any of it looks better than a black and orange themed tribute to the H-D catalog in my opinion, but then that's just my opinion.

I hope you get it where you want it to be.

Look up the Roth Rattlebomb paints. They're a higher quality paint is spray cans. About $16 a piece but there's some guys doing some really cool work using just these spray cans. They have flakes, bases, candies, etc.
