check the play in the basket. the bushing maybe totally gone.

i'd just ride it. find a buddy with a big cc alky bike with direct peg mounted pipes so you can see how nice and smooth your bike really is lol

what kinda handlebars do you have vs other bikes? fixing a vibration on a banshee is like trying to tighten up a vagina on a prostitute. aint gonna happen.they viberate. higher compression, pipe choice etc can also amplify it. pipe hanger choice can also increase vibration.

lmfao

wide squish bands pretty typical with oldschool domes huh? lots of power on the table with newer domes. be better to swap anyways.

good ole utley.... first burn on a online transaction i ever got was from him. fuck him. i hope you did fuck him around on the shipping and send him a box of junk. trying to remember the details of our transaction. paypal finally decided against him and i won. took about 2 months back then.

one thing you guys gotta stop and think about here.... you go in and ask for a welfare paint job that's what you're gonna get. they will do whatever quality work you want. they're the only company that will spray your shit for cheap. it gives them a bad name, but poor fucks still keep taking their shit there. you can easily get a 4k-6k dollar paint job here from them or you can be a welfare coat riding pos and get you a 99 dollar paint job. like i said. ppl that don't have a clue... well..... don't have a clue.

i work at the best collision shop in southern Oklahoma. we handle all state farm's and progressives direct repair. we run over 500 hours a week through a 140x80' building. i don't work for macco but the painters that work there are just as smart about how to lay paint as anyone. these idiots that don't have a clue about painting clown on them. instead they think shitty fineline work, grade school shadowing and orange peel is worth 1k.

it's like i am having a discussion with a mentally challenged kid. was you raised by a single parent? picked on a lot as a child? ask your boy to straighten up your white points on the outline color, add 3d shading and actually buff the clear. bad when i can see the orange peel through a pic. fine line is not that hard to lay and clean lines/point comes with practice. i will give him mad 1k dollar props when he at least protects his work where the seat rubs with some sort of glue on padding. would have even used true candy over a blue pearl base for a brilliant pop. hell a light coat of candy over the silver would have woke it way up, but now we are getting into opinions. for 1k you would have gotten some shit that just needed to be hung up on a wall not ridden on. lmao

but only ignorant fucks that don't know the inner workings of a collision shop think it's just a bunch of hacks working in there...

actually the painters at maaco are some of the best out there. running hundreds of hours a week. most ppl think they only do cheap paint jobs when in fact the do 10 insurance quality jobs for every one "just get my shit shiny so my dubtwamps don't look bad" jobs....

ok you guys got me... i suck so bad at painting i was afraid to put a hood on!

bottom is my 6.8 and top one is just a gun i have been building out of free/cheap parts. so far total invested is 1,500 rounds of 22lr in a plastic ammo box, 3 old ps3 games and 30 cash lol

no you're fishing and aint shit biting.....

Lol I don't figure it would take Steven long to jump in here. Let's be real Steven.... before you went full bitch one night you loved the hood and seat I sold you for the cost of a unpainted fiber and seat. Then like a woman on the rag you flipped. Even telling ppl I threaten to come to your job and shoot you in your face? I think maybe you should seek help. Again I'm not here to impress anyone with my work. I have never hid anything. I have posted every job at some point or another. And yes mike 100-200k will get you a damn nice house here.

Tricked it is regional. To paint that same hood and rear fender you're lookind at 4-5 hours labor and about 100 in materials. Yeah obviously if you have to pay retail for supplies and buy everything to do one job it would be more. Labor rate is 40 here and materials are 20 per hour. That's what 310? So 90 for a skill set? Like I said.... this isn't a east/west coast, or name. Its more just another job. I'm just glad Calvin didn't charge for his brains when creating the cast cylinders. No one could enjoy a "toy"

nah... again i never stated i was better... just stated i don't do it for the fame. don't need a trophy. i was simply pointing out what i seen. it was too easy seeing you two get so mad at every negative feedback post you guys was getting. and down here in the south we don't drag ppl over the coals on pricing.

lol i'm loving it

it wasn't my style mike, but i can appreciate the time it took. unlike your banshee hood it wasn't hard lined and stencils. someone free handed it and that demands more respect.

possum that don't bother me a bit. i have had ppl drool over my shit and ppl clown on it. i can take both sides. i don't paint to impress anyone other than myself. i do hope though if it was the scalop hood you took notes on shading lol

that's obvious mike... i mean ppl don't get as panty twisted as you're when you just had some shit painted by a dude you don't really know. i gave it props. you still got bent. now possum is bent and probably tripping thinking you're out in the shop seeing flaws. it's cool... i just had to state my opinion because you was going of on everyone that had anything negative. if you can't handle both sides maybe find a recovery group that is only allowed to give compliments.

nah cause see.... i don't work for ppl that suck my ass when i'm finished. i do it for a living not for the fame. i charge a man a honest price. i don't add dollar signs cause of a skill set.

i would paint for the masses if i had the time. i work 50 hours a week and run 300 hours every 2 weeks. i barely have time for a good wipe and end up with a chapped ass. like i said it looks good, the bike looks good, but it aint a show stopper. i can see several flaws in the pic's.

you can get your panties in a bunch all you want. this aint the west coast, this aint the east coast, you aint paying for a name.... i have a whole mixing bank full of ppg toners, pearls, candy and it just don't run that around here. cfdesigns don't even charge that much and he has had many first place wins at heatwave in texas and several other huge car event's. if it's beyond me i send it to him.
