Decided to mod my 10 dollar CB 550... Project Instant Gratification. Grimey Brat.

^ I like that as well. Eager to see updates with the BMW E30 lights.

oh my goodness! oh my gawd!

The thing about e bummer lights is that they’re like 5.75" OD. So two of them are nearly a foor wide. The light that’s on there is only 7", so running two of the BMW lights might be weird. But we will se how it shakes out.

Whipped up something new on my lunchbreak…
Headlight mount nuts! I machined them to accept a 100 and 50 yen coin that I had laying around from a Japan trip I took about 10 years ago. Came out pretty sweet I think!

New grips too. :slight_smile:

LOL

They definitely look like big sparkly dildo’s, but I appreciate it.

You are craftier than Martha Stewart.

Saw you on this at work today. Didn’t get to see it up close but I’m sure it looks great.

sorry man, but those grips look STUPID

I get that you’re putting a personal touch on it and making it look wacky-jdmish, but at some point it’s going to stop looking good and start looking gimmicky.

I see Bricktop, Skydiving, and a rad Bike…You dry hump a Mazda and I bang my MR2. What’s “gimmicky”…? I think it is simply tying different things because Road Bike.

It’s actually not a personal touch. I’m copying some JDM shit right there:

Also, I have several colors. Trying to hone in on what I like. I bought six pairs of grips to mix and match (at 40 dollars a set, haha)

rotary table or cnc?

You are an artist

rotary table. It’s hard to find a free CNC here.

I saw the grips yesterday, and I was wondering what the deal with the different colors was. Thanks for the explanation.

i don’t dry hump a mazda. I DD’d it for 2 years, put 50k miles on it and sold it. It was relatively fun transportation. I haven’t owned it since december.

This bike is awesome, I just think that at some point, the silly, wacky colored stuff is too much. A few cool touches is awesome. American Choppers comes to my mind when I think “gimmicky”, just too much in the way of themed parts.

I’ll shut up now, just wanted to clarify for ya. I know that newman will continue to do what he wants to do. What is cool to him is all that really matters. I am mearly shitting up the internet tubes with my opinion.

I understand what you mean, but I don’t think it’s there yet. When you see the bike in person the grips aren’t really as much an eye fixture as you’d think. Plus I have several color options… :slight_smile:

I don’t want to get to this point:
