Update on GL-BANDIT
Ok,
It’s been a while since I have posted on the bike. I came up with a little of all from the site. I went with Black and Gold with silver and red pin strips. Used some of Octane’s designs and decided to give the bike a Cafe look with a cafe fairing, plus put checker decal on top of the tank and on the back of the seat. On the sides of the tank putting a scull bandit with pistols drawn and smoke coming out of them or a pin-up of a sexy girl wearing red with gold stockings. But I think I going with bandit. Any-hay here is some pics of what I got so far on the paint work.
Still trying afew things out, then i'll put on clear coat.
Side panels.
After three coats of black, Kinda back wards here.

There is a certain satisfaction you get by riding a bike that you built. That you can never get by writing a check

How about this pinup. She looks like she might flip the bill. She has gold, black, and some red. [img][img]http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/tt86 ... n_back.png[/img][/img]
Or a red head with black lace. [img][img]http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/tt86 ... 9EPfRQ.jpg[/img][/img]
