There is some what of a build thread on my bike , but it's about 8 pages back in bike builds (I started this awhile ago). I built the shifter out of rolled 1/2" aluminum rod, I found the scull head shifter knob at the local auto parts store. I added the spikes. There is no kickstand. The paint job is done in layers, the " swirl " effect is called marbleized, something you might find on a bowling ball. This is fallowed with a candy color or something transparent , I air brushed sculls all over the place before I put the candy copper so they would blend with the marbleizing. The next step is to clear everything.
