my '94 sportster rigid build

[TimB1640]

i like your idea of using the turnbuckle but i just don't know if i would trust aluminum for that. (just my thoughts)

paint

Got my bike painted by a guy here in town. He did a pretty sweet job...could use some stripes & leaf still, but overall pretty presentable. Single stage 1 shot base coats...paint is expensive!! I'll spend more on my next build. Despite masking off the paint job I still managed to gouge the shit out of it, so a touchup phase is totally necessary.

the color is sick, you don't see that green on many bikes.

the little things

Engraved air cleaner says "Spare Change".
Points cover is an oversized walking liberty half dollar.

Looks really clean. That a/c is sweet.

Thanks man! Now on to my panhead...I will start a new build thread as soon as my frame comes in next week.

This turned out great. My inner Indian Larry fanboy loves the tank.

Cool build man!!! I'm guessing you don't have the bike still though? You remember what springer front end it was, and it's height? Cheers
