Glad you were able to find a buyer, hope you got close to what you wanted.

What did you let it go for?

Why did you let it go? Certainly seemed to suit you! And you certainly seemed proud of your creation!

Pls share....

let it go for 5,000. i didnt want to sell it but i bought this and more money was going out than what was coming in haha.




but i was done with my projects with it, i won an award at the international motorcycle show in chicago, its getting a little picture put in american iron magazine, and i just thought somebody else needed to enjoy it since i am going to be spending most of my attention to my new deluxe to make it the way i want

I don't ... understand it ...
Is that an LED light all over the bike?
How could your possibly fit something like that, in a retro/classical motorcycle.
An Hayabusa, *maybe*! And that would be bad even there (if it's even possible).
And I am not even going for the paint job, which is more like of a personal thing.

If it would be me, I'd be buying it to overhaul it to get off the Return To The Future bits and pieces, so it would have to come pretty cheap.

Ground effects lighting is not difficult, expensive, nor bulky.

I bought me some "autozone specials" for only like $40 total. 2× 18" thin, flexible strips, with 8 different selectable colors, brightness, or slow/fast rotating colors.

One strip is sticky mounted under my swingarm on the left side, and the other strip is mounted direct center under the spine, running the entire length. These two strips light up my entire bike exactly where I want it, and "chrome junkies" get even more bang for their buck cause the light bounces all over the place.

I typically run mine on purple, with purple tach, green tach arrow, and blue speedo backlighting. My bike is almost all blacked out, except for a few minor chrome accents. I tell people I'm not a chrome junkie, but the reality is I prefer to spend more time riding my sled than polishing chrome :P
