And the bike that started this thread. After a minor incident, I decide to paint one of the side fairing...which then meant I could paint a tail section too. So I modified a Superlight tail section and had both side fairings painted with the tail section. Paint was a great match and the painter buffed it to near perfection. I dreaded the first ride...lol.

Might be fun to cruise around on.
Keep us updated!

Thanks! I think you should! It's going to be a great release when done. I've already started laying out the 2nd bike. Bobber project gets going next Monday when my guy gets back from the holiday. Wheels are looking good! I have to resize and post later!

I like the purposefulness of that flat tracker bike. Very stylish.
