Title: My bike.....pics
Post by: GRU on March 07, 2004, 07:56:45 PM
Well, i just worked on my bike and it's about 90% done....all that i need to do now is paint the tail plastic and put is on, chop the rear fender and do the DIY advancer....i took off the front fender for paint but i like the way my bike looks without it...more like a streetfighter

Cool, reminds me of mine... I like the white wheels, but I might be partial.

I'm tempted to take my front fender off too.  But living at the end of a long gravel/mud drive way keeps me from doing it.  You are going to put the fork brace back in right?  Its there for more than just holding the fender up.  :)

Also, before someone beats me to it.  Dremel + Rear Fender =  :)

Nice to see more red bikes... :cheers:

pdg, i like your bike too...i think red bikes with white wheels look awsome...

anyway, i forgot to update you guys....i painted all my plastic and after i finished i couldn't not put on the front fender on
yeah, i'm choping the fender right after i get it back from the shop..here in ontario we have to have our cars and bikes pass a safety test  :guns: so i didn't know if they would give me trouble if i cut the fender

anyway, this was my shop for yestarday  :o  :o  :o
