hey
i am on Custom fighters, and actually part of the build-off that is finishing up in may. it would be quite an honor to get nominated for ROTM.. but i have to finish the bike first.

i took it out on the road for the first time ever yesterday... here is how it sits..

Got anymore pics of the front sprocket cover?

I thought that was a red line on that white paint, looks freaking sick. What is the base bike? CBR600 what? I gotta check out the build off threads on that forum, it's been a while.

That's absolutely incredible, I admire people that can do work like that. I'm trying to turn myself into someone like you. I love working on things, and custom work will come with time.

My uncle, for example, does incredible things with cars. He bought an '86 ford (f150? idk, it was a 460 engine) that had 600 miles. It was owned by some company and a dude rolled it over a hill. So my uncle bought it for dirt cheap, fixed the body damage, and went to down doing other stuff. One thing he did was install a motor that rolled the rear window up and down (like a car window). That's the only thing I remember, but he does absolutely incredible work. I aspire to be like that someday.

Once I have money I'd buy one for $50

I'll have one too!!!

Also, that racing stripe looks tons better with the red pinstriping. I normally don't like streetfighters, but this one is tasty! Well done.

Oh dude I'm sorry for all these questions. But can I use the same process you used on the tank for aluminum?
