More to be done !


Paint, what a novel idea! I can sympathize, with anyone who has painted a motorcycle frame and found it a challenge. It is bad enough when it is in black. Try it in yellow. Thought I was going blind! So anyway, I did the filler with weld and grinding and a small amount of plastic filler to make smooth. All the prep time pays off when you want it to look nice.
At first I painted the frame black, then decided to make it yellow. Why? because stock is black, and this bike is not stock, so yellow it is. I also put ghost flames on the faux tank, just 'cause. They are very subtle, and just what I wanted. Not real hard to do either.
As luck would have it, I have a hard time with this software, is difficult to layout the way I want it. Must be a generational thing. Although the pictures are in reverse order, they get the point across. First the frame was black, now it is yellow.
