Re: Coast to Coast Commander 87% Completed

Well, I don't know if chimi will like the color combo, oh well, I do. That's all that matters.

Ive learned a little bit with this build too.
1. Take your time painting
2. Wait for the paint to dry. PATIENTLY.

And why is my gloss red paint not coming out smooth, it mattes.

Re: Coast to Coast Commander 87% Completed

Dunno why, just liked the way the liscenses looked

And now the flaws:

Shop towell stuck to the frame, should come off easy

ran out of paint to coat wheel, thought it would look ok...but no

i geuss this paint doesnt adhere to chrome very well

The metal lens swung around and hit it...and scratched it

The tank's tab is bent up...this tank is SO hard to mount

The top wasnt working....Dont know what to do with this

More paper towell

various scratches from tank mounting-Shoe shot-In my grass cuttin' shoes

more tank mounting problems

The fork...wasnt wide enough for the fenders

Re: Coast to Coast Commander 97% Completed

Maaan am i tired. Just rode 26 something miles to go to burger king...was fun
Not on this thing, my trusty and beloved u-haul

Got this bike done yesterday
and ready to sell...just needs some minor adjustments
the buyer actually wants the tires from how it was originaly and the original bars
amazing

 

[TheFlyingDingo]

Oh and on my trip me and my friend allmost got hit by stan lee(or a look alike)...and then i ran into a tree because i was laughing so hard

"stay tunned true believers for the exciting conclusion of.............dingo meets stan lee!"
bike looks great :mrgreen:

 

[skoda]

The bike looks great Dingo, those light tanks are really good looking.

Stan Lee is a jerk, he has run me off the road more times than I can count.

 

[chimichanga]

26 miles to a burger king? wow that's insane. Are you really far away from civilization? I have one 3 miles away. lol

 

[muddywater04]

that bike is fantastic. i cant stop looking at it

 

[TheFlyingDingo]

The commander is now for sale!

$150+the shipping-O.B.O
Comes with either ape hangers or original bars
also comes with the light bulb holder thing, if you ever find a lens and decide to re-wire it
but i suggest leaving it alone...it looks awesome
Plus-my dad's friends idea of the hub cooling
"I get it, the air goes in through here, through these tubes, and into the hub"
You can also have the original white walls, IF you want them. It was requested once

no problems that have to do with riding the bike...but the tanks lens wont go down...never had the original bolts for the tank, and various scratches....ask where, and ill take pictures and everything

the bike rides perfect

any questions please ask me

Killer Commander, Dingo! Love the tank, but I would go all the way with a piece of thin, flat lexan and an LED conversion.

Thinking of something similar for this:

Maybe a pair of 1W LEDs?
