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.

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.
 
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
