i wanted to sell a running bike so i thought i’d change the chain and spark plugs. things snowballed out of control once my friend and i started to tear into things…
i figured, “fuck it, we’re tearing it apart, let’s make it what i want it.”
the goal: make it look like an old u.s. army bike.
you don’t like me making an old japanese bike look like an old u.s. army bike?
the star looks a lot better in person. keep in mind that a major curve in the tank goes right through the middle of the star and the picture was taken on my cell phone. i also want the stars to be a flat white, that’s why i didn’t use stickers.
imperfections will be touched up next time we work on it.
pretty cool. id throw in a gold outline around the star. My buddy had an 87 Hurricane first bike i ever rode, laid it down makin the turn outta his driveway. lol. Got any before pics?
my recommendation to you would be to replace those plastic zip ties with metal exhaust ties. Before you know it, you will be dragging exhaust tape down the street or better yet it will end up in your chain/back tire when those plastic ones melt.
