So now we are around the time where we need to paint the tins. As I stated we tried to to as much as possible "in house". My dad is good with squirtin paint and farming out paint could get costly. We had been kicking around different colors, dark blue, root beer, bronze. Finally landed on a combo of a BMW frozen red metallic and a pearl white

Also, I had been using chrome drag bars for mock up and actually planned on using them. At some point I saw a bike online(think it was a Triumph) that had a similar look to what I am building and it had tracker style bars. That did it! Had to have some

Really happy w/ the look and the ergos are much improved
