Decided to leave the headbadge shiny chrome and took care of the headtube grooves in red.

Just thought that making the inside of the crowns would maybe give a nice little accent too... 😉

I considered that as well as the insides of the sprocket, but decided against them.

I have been wanting to replace the old dual kickstand for a while because it lifts the rear end up too much. I finally found this double passlode and mounted it.

When I saw how it looked from the side I thought of pipes and remembered some cool grilling aluminum I bought at the grocery store to someday use on a bike.

This is just an experiment, but I am considering it. What do yiu think?

Is it cool or is it stupid? Or both?

Yeah, you guys are right. They look more like machine guns than exhausts. :D

Both. Most fun things are. But lots more cool.
I think it would look better if the stands were not black. Maybe hit them with some silver paint?

Was wondering if you'd polish the wheels. Looking good!

Lower stand is a good move. The muffler look is kind of cool when it's up but doesn't make a lot of sense with it down which it will be for the pix.

Yeah, I kept looking at those exhausts and hearing them rattle as I polished the rear wheel. Time I was finished, I removed them. It was worth testing, but they failed.
