I have heard some cool things about being able to "paint" tail-light designs into these fenders. Are you planning to do something like that? Looking forward to seeing the finished product!

I flirted with the idea of Frenching the lights in but decided not to.

Got a few pictures from the painter today. Just after first round of clear, has to sand , clear ,sand clear etc... I know the colors may seem a bit out there but I like it. He is doing some free hand stripping on top of the bags, front fearing and rear fender.

what brand of tire did you use on that front wheel? I am looking forward to seeing pics of all the sheet metal back. I think that is one that is definitely going to look better put together and probably really pop. Have you go the fairing done yet?

The tires are VEE's. I read mixed reviews but compared to the cost of having Metzler 21 WW made if I wear it out quick I'm still ahead of the game.
