order up a set of speed racer tires early in the week and got them the next day. only one state away......

wow, i really like how they look on the bike and should ride real nice on pavement. also they say the tire is good for turf too. that should work good for me,because that will be the only two places i will be riding on.......

here are some more mock up pictures of the bike with the tires on......

Looks great delray.

You have done a great job so far. What are your plans for paint?

**delray** · 04-01-2012, 09:33 PM

going to have to be a secret,but i will give you a small hint ,maybe little old school with a vintage look...........

kind of holding off on paint,but i do have some good ideals what i want to do. thinking black for sure. with a black engine with the correct vintage 5hp gold decals with a old school letters on the tank that will say briggs in gold letters. something like the old chevy letters on the 283 valve covers. maybe little gold pin striping on the fenders. seat will be totally redone in something else and the color on the rims will be a different color,maybe a lite tan cream color. something like the old vintage scooter where painted. i haven't really set my way on all of it yet. sometimes i see something different the last minute and go with that............

Sound great delray, I think that combo should look good when all done.

I wasn't sure if you where going to paint it red and black again and keep the seat as is or get it reupholstered.

trying to get away from the factory baja look and maybe something cooler looking...

i had little time today to work on cleaning up the fenders. i trim up the edges little so they would look like the have the same radius as the tire. kind of a trick to make the fender look like it fits the tire more correct. not perfect,but better then what it look like before....

i will do the same for the rear...

FRONT AND BACK FENDER BEFORE.........................
