Nice work on this Outlaw.
Great concept, killer stance, excellent details.
I'd dig some more details on your 3W headlight conversion. I didn't know you could get a big enough battery in that size housing.

That's some sweet work on the saddle. I just noticed that you are from Kiev. My wife and I are currently visiting Riga, but plan to be in Kiev Dec 19-22. Maybe we can meet for a beer.

Re: Firebird TransAM' cruiser

My vote would be for black frame with pinstripes in bronze, and maybe the wheels in bronze with the holes in the rims showing black...

Any chance of making those rear dropouts as big as they were in the concept drawing? I suppose that would add a fair amount of weight...

Couple of these might look good on the tank sides?

Re: Firebird TransAM' cruiser

Hark! How did I miss this? I own a 1978 Trans Am. It is gold in color with the 400CI Pontiac engine and the special suspension package and gold-tinted T-tops. It needs work because I haven't the money to work on it right now, but better days are ahead for it.

My Dad had a 1993 Firebird Trans AM )
350 CI Supercharged)
Hey! Your car is black with golden stripes? My bike is gonna be with the same colour scheme
