My Daughter's bike, early in the build.

The seat cowl is something we batted around quite a bit. 2 things that are holding us back on it is this bike will likely be used on-post somewhere in the next 6 months and will likely have some sort of pack or bag strapped on back there alot, and second id that the key/lock to remove the seat is actually on the rear left in the padding. Kinda make that hard to practically use other than the "look cool" factor. Current Idea on paint is a dark silver called "charcoal mist metalic" and maybe a black stripe. Gonna wait to make that call when all body parts are built, repared and installed.

 

I'm sitting at work awaiting releif... four day off comming, stand by.

 

Finally able to start on body/paint.
Started on the tank today, hope to finish it up and start on the other parts this weekend.

 

Todays progress...

 

yeah.....go with olive drab....cause she aint gonna see enough of that color in the next few years...LOL

 

That's amazing... Good work and can't wait to see the finished product.

 

Thats what I was thinking, But the thought of stenciling "35 PSI" on the front fender & "MOGAS" on the tank is kinda funny.

 

I agree with you. The seller outright LIED to you and cheated you by not telling you everything.
Of coarse if you ask then they will just lie and say they did not know.

Do you hear that you LIARS-CHEATERS out there!!!! I hope some day someone does come back and beat the hell out of you.
Not kill you- but just make you wish you were dead.

 

to all you losers and liars that sell broken shit to people without telling.... may the legs of your pants be duct taped shut and ten rabid ferrets be dropped into them....

 

don't forget the bumper number and unit......

 

Bumper #= F-ing Cherry Zero 1, Unit =M.I, 'Crute Legs

 

Have no idea what that means.
Failure to communicate.

 

Just a shot at my kid (F-ing Cherry= brand new green soldier)/(M.I, 'Crute Legs= Military Intel recruit, Non-Airborne)

 

guess you just had to be there...LOL :director: lane:

 

Tank, rear frame covers & front fender in self-etching primer and ready to move forward.



The tail is still a work in progress.


This weekend I need to figure exactly how the tail light is going to be set into it. Then the tail can be finished up, side covers and a final plan on the front cowl/fly screen can be figured out.

 

After 3 attempts to build a fly screen for this bike, and all looking like crap, I went to plan B. I lowered the gages down about 3 or 4 inches and I'm happier with the look...



Still fighting with the tail & tail light, as well as how the plate and rear turn signals are gonna end up back there. This is the next big problem I plan to attack.

What IS finished up and behind me is the can. It's on, finished and solid as a rock.

The tail, side covers & sealing up the front wiring behind the headlight are the things that need to be knocked next. As soon as time permits I will get that done and get this 'lil bike to paint.

 

your daughter must be very happy with her new ride, I know I would be.
