Paint work

Maroon and Navy Blue is going to be:
House of Kolors on a Marbleised base
The Light Azure blue has fine flek with white candy coat over it.
the words are going to be gold leaf paint

the joining line between each of the colours is going to be a pin stripe of the opposite colour. e.g. Marron to Light blue with a navy blue pin stripe etc...

Cool, my Dad was RCAF ( flew out of Penhold just N of you, Cold Lake, way N of you...amongst other places- North Allerton, Yorks for another).

Those colours are very familar, I grew up with them around the house.

I'll be up for The Stampede this year- I'll watch for your ride.

What a great tribute. Its a great plan and it's going to look really nice when it's done. Looking forward to seeing the after pics.

 

It has to be ready by 1st April but I hope to have it before then.. I will be waiting more than 4 weeks for the wheels as they have to come from the states.

I'm going to get a professional photographer into make some photos.

 

Excellent tribute..ride proud

 

Many thanks I will. The Regiment have heard about it and are stoked to see it

 

Awesome tribute. Thanks for sharing.

Updated and added new photos

 

That's some project. Anxious to see more photos. Looks like you've listed everything but did I miss the windshield? Is that a 8.5" Klock?

Also, I have the all blackened Enforcer Wheels like in your one photo and I am interested in seeing what the "Black contrast" Enforcer will look like. My first choice with the wheels was with the black but having the inside of the spokes done something like the lever pictured below which Harley calls a "contrast cut". I ended up getting a great deal on the all black Enforcers so I went the way. Good luck.
