Hopefully my updates aren't annoying anyone - here she is all complete.




Ace - I had to go with black powder coat - the gold colors my powdercoater had were icky... he said gold never quite looks right - so I just went gloss black. There are a lot of different gold facets on the bike (emblem, header wrap has a gold vibe to it, the shock canisters...) so I felt like unless it was perfect, it may look "off" so I went the easy route.


Anyhoo - time to ride the heck out of it.

Thanks for lookin!

Apparently, I'm not irritated after seeing the updates. You have a unique GT and the mods don't suck. Good sense and functional = make a bike look good.

Looks great, but my only question or concern is; did you make sure the tire would not make contact with that shortened loop?  It's kinda close.

Last thing you want to happen is to bottom the tire on the loop. Instant braking force.

I was wondering that and where his tail light and plate were.

But these after all, are glamour shots.

Chip, it really looks great.

Where did you get the bar end sliders and the tailight?

VanHalenMan - You are a good example for all of us. Styling strong, in a way that doesn't look creepy and totally functional. After all, what good is it if it doesn't handle well? Now get your Fireball!
