Pictures of mag wheels on bobbers

[dj_elite]

Searched and couldn't find much. I've got a '78 with mags and want to see some bobbers done with mags and get some ideas of what poeple have done with them ie. polish, paint, paint/polish, powdercoat, etc...

Tons of 'em out there. Just off the top of my head you can check out Ardcore's website. A lot of their scoots have mags.

Yup, that's mine! Think I should polish my calipers like yours?

Someone should have warned me before I scrolled to the one with lime green wheels!

Gordonscott; how were those brakes setup?

 

[Tech7]

Thanks, and congrats on your rat trophy for the sidecar rig. I couldnt get there last weekend, but definitely next year.

Yeah, that is just a bit over the top. Otherwise, a pretty cool bike.

These painted or powdercoated? Bike looks sick by the way!

Daniel, since you asked, here's my old Dog. I prefer paint over powder. It's easier, cheaper, better coverage in corners and crevices and about the same ruggedness if you use good stuff like urethane or epoxy.

If you powder you need to sandblast first with aluminum oxide media (not glass beads). With paint, you clean it and shoot it with self etching primer before the color coat.

I also brush a coat of color on first to get in the nooks and crannies before I spray. Spray the first coat while your brush strokes are still sticky so it all flows together. Shoot clear over the color coat if you like just make sure its chemically compatible and the color is completely dry or you can lift the color into a wrinkle finish (not good).

Nice seat spring brace! What did you use on your wheels? Paint?

That is sweet. What are the specs on the frame if I can ask? I'd like to hartail my virgin '81 if I can get it to sit like this.

Sorry for the post hijack.
