RRB sticker aside, it might be cool to keep the decals all in red, white and blue (like the STP).
Keep it up young'in!

Have you figured out your seat height dilema? I've mentioned him before, but Marty at 1018 Kustoms has some cool 'lucky 7' posts that may not only set the seat back, but lower too.

Thanks Dr.T :wink: I'm just gonna lower my seat post :mrgreen: Yeah, I was thinking of keeping the decals all red, white and blue too :wink: The only dilema I have is that my rear wheel has "s" bends in it So I gotta look for a new one for cheap :|

UPDATE #8
Finally stopped raining and got to use chrome in a can on my fender :mrgreen: May clear coat it too :wink:

Here it is with me :mrgreen: I look weird in the pic...I know :lol:

I like the chrome fender, it repeats the chrome color from the fork.
What's planned for the rear tire? Or is it a secret (hint, 26" Jerald slick would look cool, hint, hint).

Just playing around with my tank idea and horrible MS paint skills, someone with Photoshop could make it look WAY better!

Cheers,

^^^^^^^^^^
Yeah, I want one BUT they are to wide from what I here

Re: ★★ The Young American ★★ (Update #8 Fender "chromed")

I thought they were 'officially' a 26 x 2.125 (closer to 2.25 installed). Will a balloon tire fit that frame?

Cheers,

Yeah, it's a 2.125 :wink: That's as big as it can be Thanks for the mock up of the tank too :mrgreen:

Weird? no...
That's just the face of a proud young man and, rightfully so.
The bobbed fender looks just about right. Just as the rest of the bike. Loving the mock-up sketch Dr Tankenstein did with that tank...

Can't wait to see a reartire mounted on...

What kind of spray chrome did you use? That looks pretty close to what I need. Lookin' good so far. 8)

Re: ★★ The Young American ★★ (Update #8 Fender "chromed")

It said on the can "Rustoleum Bright Coat Metallic Finish" :wink: More aluminum colored than chrome but hopefully my clearcoat will make it shine
