This bike so needs to stay raw with the welds and all showing at least just for little while mate. It's pure raw magic.

agreed

Yeah - just clear coat it.

X3 or 4 or whatever. Well done brother Surt.

thanks heaps mates, but sorry i cant just clear coat coz
a. the top of the tanks shrunk pretty bad
b. the tank and butt stop materials differ. probably i should have fabbed the tank from ally either but im trying to save on time as much as i can, same old story...

paper back mock up. the stop signals gunna be levelled with the butt stop surface

btw, is powder coating air cooled engine a good idea?

Its effectively plastic coating , just melts at a high temp. So it would be slightly insulative , prob not.

thanks cheif, that's what i suspected

Surt your skills make me sick . Top stuff keep it up
