Clean and Green

FearIsGood · 08-22-2008, 02:18 PM

Cleaned up the first time since the spray can special, just made it back this week from NC (from Cen OH). I like it more every time I see it

Robert111 · 09-02-2008, 08:27 PM

I like the flat OD color easy to touch up,

RVFR · 09-02-2008, 08:59 PM

Great for those covert operations

drewl · 09-02-2008, 09:36 PM

got some stars and stripes for it? or maybe an air force insignia?

It does look cool.

VT Viffer · 09-03-2008, 07:31 AM

Just needs a sportbike tail (like a CBR 600/1000RR) to finish the look. I still don't like the exhaust "caves" in the back.

The olive drab color is really uber-cool, though. I think that a few "well-placed" flat black warnings (aircraft style) would accent it nicely.

How about a shark mouth like off of an old P-51 Mustang or something? That would look sweet on it.

What paint did you use? Currently doing body work to repaint mine, debating getting a nice professional job or doing it myself. Just hate to spend the money, and end up low siding or something. Verse doing myself, then I could always touch it up if something were to happen....

Looks good, like the color. Nice with the lower muffler too. Too bad the tail doesn't look as smooth without the exhaust in there.

VsVFR · 09-15-2008, 10:06 PM

Looks Great! That low mount micron was weirdin me out until I saw the last pic. I take it there are no clearance issues with the pipe and rear tire/swing arm?

No clearance issues, I had to space out the pass peg with some washers and then it was fine. Less than an inch but I'm not worried. Still trying to figure out filling in that tail, probably a winter project.

It was krylon camo paint from autozone and lots of sanding.

The P-51 mouth is quite likely, just trying to figure out which one of my 'artistic' friends should do it.

Joey_Dude · 09-16-2008, 08:58 AM

All that needs now is some machine gun exhausts:

Oh and maybe put in a flame thrower for the popo!

Ok you WW2 buffs, was it P-51 or P-38 Spitfire?

Nice thought Joey

P-38-Lightning twin engine boom tailed fighter bomber later used for recon.
P-39 Aircobra Slow, single engine bathtub that got shot down alot.
P-40 Warhawk, Tomahawk, single engine fighter that did a lot of shooting down. Made by Curtis aircraft. (Glenn Curtis being the fastest man on earth via a V-8 motorcycle on 1-24-07 going 136.47 MPH)
P-47 Heavy, but nearly indestructible fighter, Saw the later part of the war.
P-51 Fastest of all the U.S. planes. later "D" models had a bubble canopy.

If you are looking for sharks teeth, look up pics of the P-40. It had an air scoop under the propeller that made a pretty mouth.
Any questions?
Class dismissed.

Fearis, you could try buying an aftermarket undertail(hotbodies) and hinge it and make an undertail trunk. Might be a little fabbing involved, but it might be possible. Either way, awesome looking bike. Just mean!
