Re: can't decide on a name yet

I'm such a slacker on this one!! I brought the bike home and have been debating on a color. I'm off this weekend so I should be able to get some BEFORE pics of everything and start disassembly!

The color has to be yellow and black. ;)

Nope......nothing that looks like a Bee. In fact, I'm going to go a little out of my "comfort zone" on this build and try not to paint it black.... :wink:

And Luke.....you're not "up against" anything with me involved.... I have no talent, skills, patience or any combination of the 3.
 
Re: The BIG STING--Starter pic added

Here's my before pic. It's the remnants of the "REAPER" build. After my last long ride w/ it, I decided to pillage some parts off it for other builds. That, and most of the skull lights got damaged.... :shock: So I'm recycling (rimshot) this one for another build!

Oh bull turd. Your RRB7 build partially inspired "Blackjack" for me. Now quit being modest, git ta buildin', and let us see it come together!

I can't help but repeat that in my best Colonel Sherman T. Potter voice!! :lol:



A little mock up today to see if I can get a feel for it. I see a couple things that will need replaced but I think I may have a "look" to run with.....

Re: The BIG STING--1st mock up pics

Found a bar for sissys and a well used nanner to add to the mock up. The seat is 18" long. I'd like to find one about 20"-21" and some taller apes that will suit the feel once the color is laid on.

I'm beginning to like what I'm seeing in my head when I look at this..... 8) 8)

Thanks Luke! I'm going to try out another sissy bar to see which I like better before I make a final decision. I'm trying to find a longer nanner that's not black or white. Not seeing many options on that..... :cry:
 
Re: The BIG STING--1st mock up pics

Anybody know where I can get a vinyl glitter/sparkle/metallic banana seat that's longer than 18"? All I'm seeing is plain black, white, a combo of the two or velour.

I think that's what's goona hafta take place. I've been in contact with another member about some vinyl so that may happen. But it all boils back down to no skills & no talent.... :roll:
 
Re: The BIG STING--1st mock up pics

So far that bike is looking good! I'll be watching this one to get ideas for my Beast.
