If the red is anything like the clear coat on the chrome ones, it will be tough to get off.
Hey buddy, what size are those ape hangers on the Ross????Ok, sort of back on track tonight. I worked on the Spaceliner before playing a little with the Ross.
Been watching YouTube videos on weathering wood and putting some more thought into finishing the woodwork.
Here is where I am at now. After some work with a wire brush and various hitting and jabbing moves I applied a good coat of the gray stain. After that sat a few minutes and wiped, I shot with a closer match blue spray paint. After that sat a few minutes I scrubbed it with four ought steel wool. Then slobbered on some ebony stain and wiped it down again. When it's all dry I might sand the edges a bit and hit the exposed wood with more stain. When dry I'll use a flat clear coat.
Trying to get a grubby-oily look to the wood rather than a true weathered look.

10-4 on the Thompson grips. I have them on nearly all of my bikes.
Yeah, I like the new stem too. Be better with the right shade of blue though.
The Clubman bars are really cool, but seem a bit 'pointy' for this build? Everything is so 'swoopy' with nice curves, those points sitting way up high are a bit distracting.
Exactly. I originally thought the points might play off the rear dropouts and any fins/winglets I might add. Now that I see them on the bike, I just don't like them.
My bad. I thought you had a rocket grip offered as well.
There are some vintage and rare ones shaped like rockets. But I was thinking these would look really cool on your build. Might be budget breakers, not sure?
I have seen similar and was considering them.
