Wtf…

Pretty sweet build! Im almost tempted to post up a build thread for my bike. Let me know how you like those turn signals. I was actually looking at those for my bike as well. Also are you running resistors for them or LED flashers?

I had the same turn signals on my SV650, I loved them. Super bright, and I didn’t run a resistor as I kinda liked the flashing as fast as it was.

looking good :tup:

I think I finally got my flux-core welding dialed in lol. those welds didnt come out half bad.

A little splatter but nothing a file and grinder can’t handle, lol.

You better have your bike ready by June too now lol.

I know :confused:

I need a couple really good wrenching days. I borrowed a motorcycle jack from a buddy so I can get it up in the air and go to town. I just want to patch the tank, paint it, paint the wheels and swingarm black, make new bars, make a new shift linkage, swap the suspension, relocate the electrics to under the seat, build a new wiring harness, and shorten my cables and brake hoses to clean up the front end a lot.

THATS ALL!

Oh, okay!

Haha, we’ll figure out a schedule to wrench at practice Wednesday lol

Big bump!!

This all happened:

And finally…

FUCKS YEAH:

Thoughts on this color?

In that kind of matte finish?

No just quick photoshop, it’d be clear coated gloss.

I will deff like it in gloss. Metallic an option?

Kinda reminds me of the Audi TT color. I like it.

Metallic is an option but we’ll see lol.

Chalkboard paint bro.

Its flat black when / if you wash it off.

You can also buy a tintable kit, home depot will make it any color you want.

Lol I like the concept but I want this thing to be legit. Too much time and effort to just chalkboard paint it.

I spent 20$ and used a paint roller
