Mock up with new bar after buffing

 

[BonnieDundee]

New handlebars, chain, sprockets, blacked out the headers, removed the reflectors, lucas taillight, dinky winkas signals, new mirrors, new seat (the old one is being shaved down into a gunfighter seat) and the engine covers have been polished to almost chrome like finish.

Looking forward to see the bike with the shaved down seat - IMO getting rid of the couch is the most noticeable visual improvement on those 80's bikes

That paint job looks fantastic!!!!! Did you paint that outside? Is that lacquer cans I see in the background of your pics?

 

[BonnieDundee]

Thanks! Yep its just Duplicolor rattle cans and a lot of patience. I am very happy with the results.

Now lets get rid of that "couch"

That seat is going to look sweet!!!!! I'm checking this thread daily now just to watch the progress. (and get ideas of course)
