How do you feel about bare metal? Instead of painting my "chrome loss" parts I soak them in white vinegar to eat off any rust, dry them immediately w/ compressed air and then actually buff the bare metal w/ a dremel tool and wire brush attachment. It shines the bare metal right up and then immediately clear coat the parts to keep them that way and prevent rusting. I love the look of clean bare metal - that's what I will be doing with my rusty dogleg and sprocket in this buildoff. I did the same thing with a LOT of my bare metal parts on my RRBBO5 build. Just another option. Robert

Not a bad idea but I wanted some contrast so I painted & cleared the cranks.I did a similiar treatment to yours on the frame and fork.

Looking great, I am glad I thought of changing the crank. Oh, wait a minute, that was your idea wasn't it!?????

This build is looking great!!!!

[whoinphx]

Seriously looking Great....
I think the Dogleg cranks are perfect, they give the sense of motion similar to the stripes on the Tank and Guard ....
And I was quite pleased with your front light.... I wondered what color you'd do on it ...
More Red ? Staying White ? The Black is Perfect ..... It ties into the black of the tires and Crank, providing balance...
Looks Flipping Way Cool ....

Got some red glitter Western Flyer grips on for now.I love the way these springers look from a front view.

Took it for its maiden voyage today just to see if the rear hub was gonna ride ok (it felt odd on the stand).All went well ,it rode great.
Was finally able to get an nice outdoor pic in natural light .Never had so many kids run up and tell me what a cool bike I had.

If kids are telling you it's a cool bike, then you got a winner on your hands! I like the way you did cool stuff such as the shifter knob, but it didn't stand out and look out of place. It looks like it was always there. Or the exhaust pipes. When you first look you might not even notice them, but when you see them it's like "Whoa, that is cool." Or the difference in the front and rear tires and wheels. It isn't in-your-face obvious, but it works together to make the bike...I guess the word is smooth.

Love this build...top to bottom...front to back. Super sweet ride. Well done. The neigborhood kids are right.

Great idea, I've always liked doing that. And now, it gives me a way to yoink it.
I've got 2 perfect bologna cuts at the end of my forks. I just realised today that the ends weren't plugged. An LED in each one shining down into a chromed wheel? That should be a real lite show! Thanks.

This is turning out to be a great build, I like where you're going with it.

The bike is gorgeous! Excellent workmanship!

I'm curious: Can you, or anyone else here tell me how raw steep with clear coat hold up over time? And, if there is a clear that hold up better than others, and doesn't yellow?
