Pinstripe Progress...

At long last, we decided on the shade of blue for the pinstripe, took lots of texts and emails and photoshop comps but now I think we are somewhere good. Rich and myself where kinda worried about getting the frame back to me after its painted so I think it'll be a road trip for me and the family, kids are already not too thrilled about a 16hr round trip but thats what makes for family life, both the good n the bad, the ups n the downs, and the long ass journey to pick up your dads motorcycle bits :D

Paint color


This is an example of the Kandy apple red over a base of gold - the graphic shows the base gold underneath - preeetty.

Not quite so bling...

This is the kickstand - pretty ropey quality, had a hole in it, now filled in i hope and I also ground it down so that it'll be good for chroming

The after shot, came out pretty good, that angle grinder works wonders.


home polishing :D Dremel - gotta love 'em!

missed interiors..



For some reason ChromeMasters missed a few parts - the spring was especially annoying, as it was also meant to be copper finished; however it maybe a good thing, i've decided to keep it as chrome and once the rust spots are gone then it'll all be good. I've sent them back to be fixed and also sent the exhausts off too - please please please dont fall apart in transit!
