I want to say thanks to everyone that has made a contribution, large or small, to RRB. The RRB community totally ROCKS! Thanks also to my wife and son who have encouraged and supported my growing obsession, despite her ambivalence to my color scheme and vision.
I have been thrilled by this build and might be addicted! While this project is by no means finished, I am stoked to be able say that The Claymore is a totally awesome ride--in some ways the best of my modest herd. Horn and light both function but battery packaging remains to be assembled and put in tank. The head-badge has been stripped of the primer left by a previous owner, but needs to be detailed and re-affixed. Other detailing includes matching paint on pedal blocks and striping the bobbed fender.
I might also consider a stubby version of the front fender:
The gold KMC chain matches the brazings but is still a bit muted:
Brass head-badge will add some color here. I don't know what is up with the haze...
Had a little bit of slippage on the rear hub at about the 4 mile mark. Nothing an 11/16'' deep-well can't fix.
Sorry, almost no "Before" pics other than those posted in RRBO4 remain after a mistaken cleansing of the camera's memory card. Wish I had one of those "pile of parts" shots, but imagine everything except the tank and wheels in primer grey. Thanks for looking and I'll catch you later.
