    i suppose the lack of the little white space between the stripes gives em away from being orginal plus i make em a lil fatter. doesnt matter to me tho as i beat em up pretty good in the mud. the corners of the stripe are still stuck on very well which was my only worry. thanks tho!

    Your thoughts on side plates?

    Ready to cut!

    If anyone needs a set down road they have template. Also way they are designed, they will help save plastic!

    Guys! Not putting things off! Just can't get parts and I've been doing some gas tanks.

    Yup, spring is "springing" but Me not as much as I should be. Lots to do around the house & yard.

    Thanx guys!

    Couple of you told me to tilt the numbers and it looks a lot better that way.

    Wish I had more time to get on these things but I'm traveling every week.

    Then when I get home all the other stuff needs done.

    Well, mrs counted bikes last night and was asking where the 6th one came from.

    Just told her it was same count a year ago.

    Yeah! The guys gave me a bunch of imput on it and it was milled down and shaped.
    We tried various colors including yellow. The vote was blue anodized with highlighted fins.

    Thanx Kelly!


    These pics don't even do justice to bike. You should see it out in the sun.

    Got to clean shop real good this weekend and if sun is out. Try to get an outdoor shots of it.

    I got couple things I need to finish for some guys and traveling will slow down some. So gonna be full steam ahead again.
