The bars look better unwrapped.

Looks awesome so far. That seat is killer! And those bars are always a win.

I like the bars much better without the wrap. Right now they have some beatup silver paint on them.

For sure now they have to be a grimy flat black....

I agree. After looking at these photos, I quickly decided that the fenders are going to be black. It will just work and flow better with the bike so much better than the mismatched rust and chrome.

Nice work on this, so cool!

Killer bike...its really beginning to flow nicely now. 8)

Thanks guys. Are we having fun yet??????

Well you are obviously having fun... your build thread is already at 32 pages :shock:

Is there some kind of prize for the thread with most pages that nobody tells us newbies about :?

:lol:

No prize for that. I think it is because I use so many photos to wrap my head around my builds. Each person should do their build threads the way that makes sense to them. I'm just a visual guy with a small shop, so I need to look at bigger pics and noodle over the next steps more.

And YES, I AM HAVING FUN!!!!!! If it ain't fun, it ain't worth it!!!!
That not only goes for my build, but also watching the mad skillz and builds that are going on during the build off is THE BEST!!!!!!

Re: FireWing 53 Columbia 3 Star-6/19 Nekkid Nanner

I just haven't been feeling the leather covered nanner. I really liked my painted metal seatpan from Flexy last year.

Well I think I might do a nekkid nanner this year. Nekkid in the fact that it won't have any clothes on. I still have to wrap my head around how I might paint it.

So to start the process, I carefully removed the original padding.


Then I took it over to my wire wheel to clean it up a bit.


Popped it back on the bike to see what it looks like. The back flat ledge just screams for something. Tested out my crossed eyed skull. Don't know if it will stay or not.

The style of that banana without its clothes is incredible. Great shape and design. Definitely leave it uncovered.

Yeah, it's funny how we beat ourselves up complicating things when sometimes you just gotta think NEKKID!!!!
I am NOT diggin the skull though. I think it works better just having that flat ledge on the seat. Kinda like my old Screamer 2 Nanner.

If I ever do a bare metal build I am going to steal George Costanza's .... star name for my build. BUCK NEKKID.

Hang some black fringe under the edge!

That flat part of the seat is for sitting a beer on. :wink:

I like the second idea, but I'm not sure that I want dingle berries hanging under me bum.

You could also just cut a piece of leather that only covers the part your set your back side on. It would leave the rest all natural or painted the color of your choice. Hope what I just said make sense to ya...
