I think next time I will use a heavier guage can... but for now this will work... Was wandering through a garage sale thinking about what I could do for a tag bracket... The sugar can for free just seemed to fit the bill at the time...

Wow, That thing is cool!
I went crazy after your black bike in front of the PU. I had one of those pickups and would loved to have that bike.

Question, what brand seat is that? I'm in the process of restoring a set of old springs and need to locate the 'seat' part. That one looks perfect!

Those little lights are cool. They could be bolted anywhere. Gonna have to look for those.

Re: ★★★ Go Away ★★★ (Updated 05-12-11 ★ 12:25 am)

Well... Other than putting another coat of green on today, nothing has moved any further along... Did break out the one shot and some brushes to warm up before the big game...

And since there is a ride this evening I decided to work on the other bikes and get em aired up and ready for the road.... Hey Udall... Got the bike done... gonna put some more miles on it now... upgrades complete....
