To saddle or not to saddle? That is the question.

Re: NDN - painted fender & seat trusses

Forget what I said about saddle bags hiding the fender. Those are perfect in that position.
Great paint work too.

Re: NDN - Got some time in finally

If you do attach the stickers
I think you should try to give them the appearance that the letters are almost fadded away
except make it so the N,D and other N are less fadded

That is an awesome idea!!! Anyone have any experience in vintaging decals to make them look faded and old?
 
Re: NDN - Working on the saddle bag brackets.

I think I have them almost done. just need to go buy some nuts & bolts and weld another support piece in place to distribute the weight and not have a single point of attachment.

Re: NDN - mounted saddle bags

finished the brackets and mounted the saddle bags in slammed mode. took the whole wreck for a ride and have some adjustments on the fender I have to do to get more chain clearence. time to run lights, paint brackets, maybe a red tail light, clean up the saddle bags(pin striping) and leather seat time maybe? Not sure.

Re: NDN - Mounted saddle bags.

Looks awesome! Just a tip... If you take some Duplicolor Metalcast red anodize paint to the lenses you can make them transparent red and use them as tail lights! :wink:

You are readin my mind! I was thinking of the smoke tint but I think the red would look better. thanks man! I didn't know the red anodized would work.
 
Re: NDN - Mounted saddle bags.

Perfectly cool positioning of the bags!
Its all coming together now.
 
Re: NDN - Ambivalent

In limbo going back and forth between endings on this bike. I bought some pin striping materials and messed around with an original fender.
Practice sessions:

Executed(still need to do the ivory)

Undecided on the seat to keep it metal or do something similar to this:

Finished lights:

I am gonna paint the saddle bags and pin stripe but they may notake the cut.
 
Re: NDN - Ambivalent

Was that actually you first shot at pinstriping? Looks most excellent to me!!!!
What kinda pencil did you use for your layout markings?
