Doing some bodywork

[Bigboy Busa2]

I thought the bodywork was

in better condition when I got it. But I guess my excitement blinded me. I still would do it again. That was 2 1/2 years ago. The one I bought it from didnt take his time and over cut. I'm finally addressing it. I think I will cut the timplet out of stainless sheet metal and double it back on the straightedge. The circles are rivers, to attach and I think a little character. It will be a different color than the bike. I'm not trying to hide it. And also fix the 1/2 done fiberglass fix in the inside at the rear.

Hi. It is looking good! Looks like DME rear sets.

The fiberglass came out great alot stronger now. And another hour on the metal. I believe it will be satisfied.

Hi Are you going to paint it too? I

Hi Are you going to paint it too? I

Not myself. I made that decision many yeara ago with my other bike. I have painted before, but I'm too particular. And go to the extreme with stuff sometimes. Basically not worth my time. Just flat black or really dark gray for now. Will get something more custom next year. I have a few sticker to offset all the solid color I will post when its done. Im just tired of seeing it like that. Just wanted to do some of the bodywork myself, to say I had a part in it. This week or first of next I will take it. Have it back a few days later

Back in flat black

Still have side pieces for tail and screws left to do. But that's about what it looks like

 

[Bigboy Busa2]

I'm sure you remember the side pieces I made to cover up the hack that he did. Haven't decide if I want to paint them orange. Im worried it will make it look tacky. What you think

 

[Ronan]

I like the color orange but you don't need too much with black. It's a good job. Well done!

 

[Bigboy Busa2]

Other than a few bolts its finished. Hope you enjoyed this post

Hi. It looks great very nice job. The good thing about paint is if you do not like it just paint it again.

I plan on it. Just needed to get rid of that gray for now. Looks like a different bike. Thanks
