i was gunna go with a simpson but have decided on the craft one from stu which will be airbrushed to suit anyways

[zx12argh]

Hey Rod if I ever get to see your bike in person I'm going to need some "quiet-time" alone with it.
Maximum kudos mate. Looks superb.

[jakam04]

quote:Originally posted by jakam04

Agreed there Pete, I may have tarted up Mongrel with a bit of air brushing... but its still a try hard effort compared to such classy builds like Rod's and a few other guys on ASF.

I sit here in awe (crowd repeats AWWWWWW) at the excelent work you have done Rod. Well done.

Jarrod


I reiterate the above comment made previosly...

AWWWWW that is so fucking sweet..... All bow down to the new airbrushed king of bling..... Hail Rod....

Jarrod

[Gix11]

personaly i prefer the second pic but what do you guys think

[Large]

Is there a third (under the moteur) option?

[scotty mac]

i think the second looks the best. don't like the look of the last one just abit to flat lookin.

[BANDITROD]

quote:Originally posted by Large

thats where it was originaly going but i dont like the idea of hacking into my new headers to make it fit

[Jockney Rebel]

2nd one mate def but im an oldskool type of bloke

[zx12argh]

2nd one with that can... how about something a bit more slim line?
I reckon a couple of tiny cans kicked up at the end would look awesome.

Gasp in awe at my supremo paint skills.
http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/3673810290498.JPG

[Gix11]

2nd photo without a doubt mate. Don't even question it, that's the answer. Last one will make the bike look long and flat.

[FIGHTERMC]

As the lads said 2nd one mate.

[HueyonaBlade]

For mine Rod sorry DUDE I reckon the muffler is to big for the second shot a thinner /slimmer can yep for sure but with this one I think you need it a bit of higher...........And its not even 20 cents worth[:P]

[BANDITROD]

ok guys thanks for the input i am going with the second one for now but will be changing it in the future cheers Rod

[RUSS M8]

Bloody cool ride! Love it now it's done!

Holy Bling-o-rama Batman [:0]
Top job there Rod, really eye catching.
As a bit of constructive criticism, I'd paint the battery box black to hide it a bit, I reckon it interrupts the lines as it is. [B)]
