Well, the bike is blue, and my balls hurt after riding it.............so there ya go.

Blake and I took this bike down to the bare frame, sand blasted the frame, redid a lot of welds, Metal flaked the tank and fender blue, painted the frame pearl white, and the fake oil bag silver. Powdercoated a lot of the engine mounts gold, with some other parts the same gold. The headlight and mirror are white as well. Painted the motor aluminum. Powdercoated the brake drum chrome. White plug wires, new clutch, new brake switch, new sprato taillight, whitewall tire on the rear, brass grips, and Flyrite seat. Wanting to put a metal flake white seat on it now.

That is exactly why I did it white. I have seen 1000's of bikes with black frames and maybe 3 with white.............I just loved how clean and pimp it makes it look.

Ido have to agree with you though, The tank needs a few scallops, just for effect.
As always, you did a damn good job.

About 9. I put on a little extra to compensate for when I need to sand it to throw on some scallops or something.

Thanks for the comments, guys. I just made what I like and took the feedback from my friends and added it. I originally wanted white pinstriping on top of the pearl white frame. I wanted it to be subtle and make you look. I am extremely glad that Crash talked me into the light blue on the frame. It is perfect.

Looks pretty cool. I think something like that looks fun as hell to ride. I would love to have something along those lines that handles decent and has good rubber. I used to love killing the clover leafs on a busted F3 after some fag would talk shit sitting on his new leased whateverthefuck. I would love to pass some prick fag on a new literbike in the clovers on something like that.

I've never seen a vehicle posted anywhere that's "exactly" how I would do it and I've got some opinions on what I would change, but it's your bike and my opinions don't mean dick.

I'm a sportbike guy, but I appreciate all types of motorcycles. I like those traditional looking choppers more than the modern choppers I associate with yuppies and catalogs of billet shit. Looks like a blast :D

Lason
04-14-2007, 08:22 AM
Damn Levi, that thing is BEAUTIFUL!! Congrats bro, it came out better than what I thought after hearing you explain it. Some white scallops on the tank and I think it would be about as close to perfect and your going to get man.

Your spelling would probably improve tremendously if they were not always cramped from giving out handjobs.

Wishing it had a metalflake white seat, and I think I decided to give it a white teardrop on each side of the tank instead of scallops.

Thanks for the kinds words, guys, and major thanks to Jeremy for the handjob!

04-14-2007, 05:10 PM

I'm not a big fan of scallops... the 80's wore them out for me, and the 90's just ran them into the ground
