I dig the bird, it all looks great but I think that is the sharpest one. You did a great job on the lettering for all of it though.

Looks great. I've got the same lace all over my bike. Here I was thinking I'd bought some locally woven, free range lace. The flake looks rad. Nice job.

Black lace over gold, duplicolor engine enamel with Spraymax 2k clear. That clear is fantastic. It layed down really thick and had a great finish right away even with less than ideal...

Bicycle computer. $25, about an 1.5" square and way more accurate than a mechanical speedo. Just epoxy some magnets to your wheel, close enough for the sensor.

Maybe I value my ball's health a little too much but that bicycle seat? Fuck that. The rest of it looks great though.

Good idea.

Upside to big oil slicks though? I dumped my bike over the weekend but there was enough oil I pretty well just kept sliding. Perfect!

Yup, the book said 10-20mm so I started at 15. What can I say, metric makes more sense

Just a bit more than a half inch. I'm 'Murican, but use metrics more in my work. The manual lists 3/8-3/4" freeplay(10-20mm), so I stuck it in the middle of that.

The small lever coming out of the...

Sorry about that. It's a '99 vt600.

I set the freeplay to 15mm, but the lever doesn't return after it's been pulled in. When I disconnected the cable from the lever and tried engaging it, I still...

In the process of changing out handlebars(to some super wingus from Zombie Performance) I snapped my old clutch cable. It was getting replaced with a longer cable anyways, so I wasn't worried about...

That's pretty impressive. Not only did he paint his car, he got as high as a middleschooler.

Filling the tubing with salt works great too, then unplug the end and hit it with your air compressor and it cleans right out.

I used some similar to Piecemaker, but got them of ebay for $1.75 a pair. The wiring was pretty flimsy inside them so I put a squirt of hot glue in to keep things from shaking loose etc. They've also...

nice work man. i've got a vlx as well, hoping to tear into mine next winter. your exhaust looks great

I used the Duplicolor clear engine enamel over it. 3-4 coats. I used up the bit of leaf I had, but id like to get some more and add some extra things here and there.

23 has just been a good number...

Pulled the tank, stripped and scotchbrighted it. Gave it a coat of Duplicolor engine enamel clear and put the leaf on. This is definitely a first run at it but I'm happy with it for now
