put some crome a-arms on it.... that would clean that baby up good... looks fuckin sickk though... awesome grill... :headbang:

if you want to get creative with the color id get extended a-arms and powdercoat them yellow that would be a real eye catcher:whoa:

Looks sweet dude. That looks like sandlake in the first pic. Hit me up if you need any modquad billet or anything from rocky mt. Im a dealer for both and Im just up in longview. I can get a badass complete chrome swingarm setup for a smokin deal. comes with billet carrier, brake line, billet brake line holders and the front pivot bearing. Anything you need I can usually get. :headbang:

Thanks for all the comments.

 

Alf44 - the first pic is at Sand Lake or the Cat Box which ever one you like to call it. I'll def hit you up if I need any parts. You say your in Longview right? Have you ever been to that MX track out there? I've been meaning to go out there and check it out.

 

yeah I'm not sure what rout I'm going to go w/ the A-arms. I think I'll end up getting black ones, and getting some of the stock Yellow springs.

 

I like the Pipes black, I not a huge fan of chrome and everyone has polished pipes. Plus the powder coating will help protect against rust which was a huge problem before I sand blasted and painted the pipes.

So I took her out to Florence over the weekend and all the paint actually held up pretty well. I had a few scratch on the rear fenders where I must have hit some branches and shit, but no stress cracks or huge flaking of any sort. I was pleasantly surprised. It was pretty wet so I had quite a bit of wet sand stuck to the bike, but when I got home I just washed it with some soap and water and everything came off with no problems.

 

I did have some issues with the powder coating on the pipes. They told me at the shop that they used high temp powder coating, but it still began to flake where the pipe meets up with the head. I'm going to take them back in and have them try it again.

 

Overall I am very happy with how it turned out, I would say that the Krylon Fusion paint is actually rather durable for what it is.
