My wife would be pissed.....

The bike really looks sweet. I like to see these kinds of builds where time was spent on each part and paint. I think your working on the future mini of the month.


Nice job with the bike...
Actually The wife came home and all she said was "it's cute". I guess she's used to my compulsions by now.

I did remove the tread marks off the floor though. Yes, every single part was made right, blasted, primed and painted . ya'll seen the engine already. Thanks.

Heres pic's of the other side.

You and I think alike. I repainted my mini purple and added a couple of coats of silver flake about a month ago. In addition, I have one of Kenny's seats with a silver flake seat. I'm in the process of putting it all back together, but have a few setbacks.

You can hardly tell in low light, but in the sun that silver flake looks awesome!

Your bike is look'n good!
