Got into some work again this weekend... finished clearing the tank. Got the sandpaper out and knocked it all down. spent a good couple hours buffing and glazing...

Bike is all done... just have to throw a license plate on it and wait until some warmer weather before i take it for a ride... hopefully later this week!

[Tron]

Well shit, that came out awesome. You make this look to easy

Im jealous of the skate ramp, Im trying to figure a way to put one in my shop

 

[westonboege]

Skate ramps are great for the shop... these damn motorcycles keep getting in the way though.. .hahah

Thanks for the comments dude... ill probably take some better pictures when i can get this out in the open...

[westonboege]

what paint did you use for that?

 

[westonboege]

I used some silver base coat, silver metal flake in a 2 part urethane clear.... Then candy concentrate in with some clear... Then just a black solid coat... And lots more clear...

 

[JP50515]

I take it that's not a rattle can job lol

 

[westonboege]

Nah... Haha... I picked up a cheap DevilBliss gun with a compressor .... Works out great ... Paint is. A little more expensive but results are way better....

 

[Lester]

Congratulations on the build in finished state... Paint looks great!

 

[Sn34ky]

Man I love your bike... as much as your bunker! Nice place to hangout with buddies!

 

[wood47]

Damn man, that thing is sick. I check out your blog on a pretty regular basis...still holding out for the burnt orange scoot to make more appearances. One of my favorite XS builds so far.

 

[westonboege]

Hahah.. thanks man. Orange bike is getting some tlc still. I scavenged the exhaust for this bike as it became a priority. Got a sent of bends, just need to refill the gas for my tig and weld up another set. Other than that i just have to fit a new starter block off plate and replace a few gaskets and it will be hitting the road for a little bit... then craigslist probably...

Bike looks great... nice job on the paint. I'm about to do my first flake job myself. Not so sure about that grip position though, I don't mind apes or crazy looking bars but that looks uncomfortable or scary not sure which.

 

[westonboege]

Everyone hates the bars... hahaha...

Im just going to start saying they are for theft deterrent... hahaha
