Tail light is cool

Headlight really finishes off the front end...little trumpet mute tail light is sweet!

Thanks Chad! I wasn't sure about them at first, but they seem to be getting the so I'm going with them!

Tail light is cool

Thanks Brian! It was a fun project.

So, I got some 'advice' from my 'Doctor' last night.
"Shorten the bracket and pull it in a little (re: headlight)"~ @Dr. Tankenstein
So I did just what the Dr. ordered!

Moved the head light in towards the frame about an inch. Then light ratina on both light shrouds. Finally, I had an "Imelda Bar-cos" moment this morning, and switched out my bars to a longer reach, more defined bend bar; and flipped them for a cafe racer / board tracker look. I like it.

Man, you get arrested ?
one thing for sure;
Identifying ,the owner of the headlight...no problem.


As always my friend,
Dig your bicycle & direction it be going.

NOTE:
A makeup applicator works great for applying the ink.,

Back in my scale model railroading days, we used rubber cement instead of mustard. If you worked it right, you could replicate pealing paint too with the rubber cement.
But mustard does taste better than rubber cement...

I’ve used rubber cement and sea salt

It's a bit nippy here... 12ºC (53ºF). I don't like cold

For your chain guard, I think I'd try to match the fender. But matching the frame would work too... so I'm not really much help

Turn and face the strange ch-ch-chainguards.

I dig it.

Cool chain guard! My 2 cents on the color would be white where the slots are with the rest of it matching the blue and all of it ratina'd of course.

 

[OneHorsePower]

iam kinda thinking clean black rims would match the chain guard ,nice seat,and other details .. tha fender in ratina blue would be nice too imo

 

[Brian macumber]

I vote blue ratina

 

[SpikeFC]

It's the same here in Poland - Rain, rain, rain, rain and again RAIN

That chainguard is sweet - I would lean to two options - chrome with ratina or rim color with ratina.
