Nice seat and strip work. Like the kolor combo.

Sweet ride man. I have this same bike, and I was going to cut it up and make something crazy, but after seeing yours I may keep it together!!

Good stuff!

Try white shoe polish. It will turn a little dark after a while but it doesn't crack and it freshens right up with a second application. Nice Bike BTW!

Here's one I did with shoe polish...

Looks great. Is the white shoe polish you used the liquid type in the foam applicator bottle, or is it a paste type?

The liquid stuff with the foam applicator. It takes a bunch of coats but it never cracked or flaked off on me. It will darken after the mold release or whatever it is leaches out of the tire but it's easy to freshen up.

here she is now with the six pack holder that my buddy welded on for me. its on a horse shoe type hinge mounted on the front so it doesnt shake up your beverage of choice when cruisin around. i wanna change the saddle to a springer seat soon. i cut out the seat post and we welded the seat on so it could be awhile before i ever get around to it.
