"Stainless" Finished!

That fender is sweet, looks like the heat shield from a machine gun. That would make a sick military theme bike.

Yep, I was right, fender does look great! and yep, It does look like a Browning machine gun heat cover, I like it!!

Wont keep your butt dry, but sure looks killer!

Wow! I'm really digin' the fender! Wonder if you could just scrub it with a Scotchbrite pad to give it a stainless look?
PS, if I steal your idea to put the holes in my fender, I'll give you the credit, okay?

I added some black stripes to the hubs, and found some vinyl for the old Troxel seat. I'm heading North for the Deer season opener tomorrow morning, so I'll get back to the bike next weekend. Fireproof, go ahead and punch some holes brother! Tom

You got to be an electrician or something, because nobody has that tool laying around. Was a really cool idea. Turned out nice.

Freaking Awesome Grips!

Great idea on the fender. You do good work.

Thanks guys I finally got the tires mounted on the rims, and got the speedo painted to match the headlight. Here is a trick that I use to mount tires on freshly painted rims. I use freezer waxed paper to protect the paint. I put the waxed side against the rim, and work the tire over it.



I'm really glad I chose this Green, although the engine paint was hard to work with. I think the sparkle vinyl is going to look good on the old Troxel. Tom

I'm hoping to get the bike finished this weekend. I found a tail light and painted it up, and I want to put LED's into it. I recovered the seat tonight. This vinyl is hard to work with, and I didn't do to good of a job with the padding so I'm going to re-do it again but the vinyl looks cool. Here are a couple of pictures. Tom

[Lugisland]

Thanks Eric, I got the seat in a box of Misc. parts a couple weeks ago. Give me a call this afternoon, and bring that fender with you.

[Lugisland]

Starting to come together

[TheFlyingDingo]

Man does that look good


Sorry I didnt show today-Class was cancelled and i lost track of time-almost was late to my night classes.

[Lugisland]

I finished recovering the seat today. I added a lot more padding, and let the adhesive get tacky overnight.
I also finished adding the LED's to the headlight. Here are some pictures of today's progress.

VERY nice LED conversion!
