RRBBO13 Ratillac.

Air ride is out of my budget right now, but was thinking a lever controlled mechanism to lower a spark plate.

A lever would work a lot cheaper than an airbag, guess it depends on the time to build it then. Looks like you've got a fair bit of work ahead, unlike my 'assembly' build.

Now, the stance is onit.
Bars look much better, & not as intrusive to the rider.
(Well,fat boy anyway).

how about : a dragging license plate style heavy metal placard, hung with chains...Constantly dragging ?

I like it, maybe a car club style placard.

Have you thought about a set of felby bars from @karfer67 ?
I think the styling would flow so well with this body.

I did, I even contacted him. (Spoiler Alert) But that was when I was planning on building up the Felt I got from you.

Got the seams all sanded down, and got rid of that SU.

Now a little touch up and I'll be ready for paint.

Before you do any priming or painting make sure that you clean the fiberglass with something like acetone to remove any wax or mold release left behind from the molds. Also lightly sand the gel coat until you get a dull finish for better adhesion.

I'm just studying up on that.
Can I use plastic primer or regular grey, or should I use adhesion promoter?

It doesn't matter what type of primer you use as long as it's cleaned and sanded good first. Polyester primer is best if you really want a show car finish.

Falstaff,
Not sure what/how you’ll be painting it, but if you are rattle canning it.
I used a Rustoleum product called ‘Universal Bonding Primer’ it went on very smoothly and it’s white, so it doesn’t impact the color coat as much as gray or red oxide.
Bought it at Walmart

Rustoleum is what I'll be using, I've got a couple cans of that white primer.

Thanks, I'm good on sandpaper and most of the paint. Just have to make a stop at hobby lobby.

I want that helmet.

You don't need a helmet with this...just a hat.

Unfortunately my good hat isn't white, but it should match the grips and seat.
