wet sand the paint a little more.

[uptownrob1021]

@shtdaprdtr its single stage. customer budget doesnt allow base coat clear coat, or wet sanding the single stage and buying more clear to shoot over. but thanks for the advice i guess. these are garage built bikes, not supposed to look like $5,000 paint job. hell, i don't even like these colors. krylon satin black works for EVERY bike. hahaha.

I wish someone would fab up a rear wheel conversion kit for VStar 650s. I dig "mag" wheels with a disc brake on the back. Wires are okay, but, I hate cleaning them. Also, "mag" wheels make it easier to fix a flat.

The gas tank looks like a Lo-Brow Customs Alien tank. Or is it a Paughco axed Mustang tank?

[mickeymousebiker1]

I was hoping your shop could customize VStar 1100 frames. Replacing the dual backbone tubes with a single backbone tube is the only way to go for a full build. I don't trust any shops in my locale to do that kind of work. Farming out the labor (with a high shipping cost) would be the only way to go for me. I'm in NE Ohio.

[krawlinsnake]

do you sell the ridged frames? and if so how much? i can not access your web page, is your shop still in whittier ca? I am in lbc. thanks

[ewachrome]

I'd ride that! I'm a die hard Harley guy but I'd ride the hell out of that bike! Nice build!

[Bricksta88MoB]

where did the tank come from?

[teyacapan]

so do you have to do to in order to run with out the air box. and what size tires are you running. you do an awesome job.

Sick, i bought my yamaha and thought that basic factory look was all i had to go with. Didnt know changes are limitless. I can turn it in to whatever.....good job

[IMTHESHOW]

one word = Perfect

[SnapDaddy5998]

How heavy was the modification on the tunnel of the tank to get this to work on the backbone? I hear it takes a bit.
