Well, the motorcycle is getting nearer to completion (if you can call it that).
I purchased some custom pipes from a great little company called Ragerbuilt Choppers out of North Carolina and they fit like a dream, look awesome and sound great...but...I had a stripped exhaust stud in the rear head that prevented me from doing anything but wish that I could ride. So I took the head to a local motorcycle garage and the owner did about an hour's worth of work trying to get the darn thing loose, but to no avail. Thanks go to Dave at Brown's Cycle Shop Dallas for attempting the removal and NOT charging me anything when they couldn't get it unstuck. They did recommend that I take it to EDM of Garland which is a local machine shop that can burn these suckers out quick. I took it in, spoke with the owner Nolan and by the end of the day had the stud removed and only $50.00 outta my wallet. Great work, thank you!
And while EDM was removing the stud, I had gotten the bike ready to do a rattlecan paint job...and with orange being my mostest favoritest color, proceeded to do the tank in orange and the rest of the tins in classic flat black.
It is coming along and someday I may get around to purchasing a new seat. For now, I am happy. This is such a fun process, I'd recommend it to everyone.
