What are you using to video your bike? I was planning to get a go pro or something.

she purrs like a big cat carbon. Lovely build , excellent tune . I really enjoyed the ride around your hood ....

Its made me all the more determined to get mine running before the weather turns bad here in the UK.

jdizon check out this little baby (scuse the hyjack carbon)

I had a look at the reviews for the SJ1000 - impressive and inexpensive, with many extra fittings. I'll check out the Mobius. I am looking forward to adding a ride around the countryside over here - hmmm! do any of these cameras come with windscreen wipers?

Blue skies and a GoPro for peanuts - pity the Atlantic is in the way, I could have picked one up on my ride tomorrow.

jmink it has been a hoot riding her over a year.
I ride often too. It's good to get out and enjoy our work(fun) in the shop

peanut thanks Man. It will be a damn fine day when You get her going.
I am looking forward to that day.

Having a spare engine was fortunate

Well Airwolfies engine looks so fine.
I figured my engine needed to look better.
Since it is a heritage engine I went ahead a repainted it.
It does not look as good as Yours Airwolfie
Sure look better than it did

 

[Airwolfie]

YEAH MAN! That looks the nuts!!!

Thanks man! my $30 camera does it justice.
If I used my Nikon it won't look as good

AHAHAAHAH! Too rue though! Expensive isn't always best! How did you go about masking it all off? Or is it brushed on?

 

[I am Carbon]

I masked it and brushed it with 1000 degree BarBQ paint

 

[Airwolfie]

Looks very professional buud!

 

[jd750ace]

There is a brush on bbq paint? I have only seen it in a spray can. Was it easy to work with?

I have seen the paint in tins over here as well, I would assume it's application is pretty much the same as normal paint.......

Yes Rust-oleum makes what I used.
Quart size at Walmart for $30
It is very easy to use brush or sprayer.
I've used it for years on steel and cast aluminum with very good results.
