The damn plastic CV fuel inlets are a real bastard, we hate 'em. Plastic, WTF?! This one was cracked so, we're pulling it out and installing a nice new brass one. Then, we'll pull the bowl and go through carb and make sure all is clean and fresh inside:

Here's Justin truing a wheel for a different project but he had to do the same for Defensor II. He does all our lacing, it's one of his favorite jobs (Radiohead playing in the background for a calming vibe).

Now for some fine details on DEFENSOR II. We powdercoated the outer rims satin black and then got Mr. Ron Hernandez (Ron's Pinstriping) out here with his striping brush. Just a little 'touch' of red will do the trick and we're ready mount them up!

NICE!

I love the way you guys approach bike builds. Tasteful, sleek and understated with functionality at the core. Bravo! As always, I'm looking forward to the final product.
