THERE ARE MORE RIDE PICS AND DETAILS ON THE HEADSET ON THE PREVIOUS PAGE

Savannah is full of tourists and our statues remain intact.

The paint layout looks awesome from the cockpit.

Were you able to get the spring tension dialed in pretty well on that repop Monarch? I have one on my Hawth Rod build, and with some fiddling, have it riding well with lots of travel. I did put a bumper on top between the plate and the top nuts, it quieted any rebound chatter after hitting bumps. They are a fairly soft bumper that protects a wall from a door knob. Already has a hole in it, I just bored it out a little.

Haven't dialed in anything in at this point. It felt fine to me and I didn't experience any noise that needed dampening.

Wow! Haven't checked in for a few days and the bike looks great!

Thanks man. But the more and more I look at the yellow and black, I am just not feeling it. I saw a car and a truck today that were yellow with black stripes and I just didn't like them.

No way I would contemplate changing nanners. I already have all of the custom bracework done specifically for this high back nanner. Any other seat would mean a complete rework of that effort.

Yep, copy that! I just saw it and thought of your build, not thinking about fitment. So are you thinking of ditching the whole yellow and black thing?

Yeah, it's all only electrical tape and taped on fabric at this point. But I am pretty certain that the mocked up paint pattern will make the final cut though. Just a different set of colors (still unknown).

10-4, well the line-work works well and offers interest from top, side and rear views...

Yeah, I really love that part about the paint layout with this frame. It's gonna be fun no matter what color combo. No regrets on the mockup time with the tape.

I removed all of the prototype spy bike camo tape and decided it was time to make this a reality.

Another popular color combo for Mooneyes is yellow and white. You might like that better.

Yeah, I've seen that and like it. Even though I did order the moon patch, I actually don't think it will go on the bike. I need more freedom right now and not willing to have the limits a theme puts on a build.
