Re: Dark GreenWing 1977
Great work. I like the composition. I would fill the opening between seat and frame. The seat looks this way borrowed from another bike.

Re: Dark GreenWing 1977
Hey palepainter! Good to hear from you. The shorty exhausts sounds good! I prefer a bit of a louder sound for my bike (Rather have them hear me coming than not hear me at all). Right now it is loud but tame, a good thing is the inside insulation is easily removable to make it as loud as you would want to pretty much straight pipe it.palepainter wrote:How do the shorty exhausts sound?

Wow. That frame looks good. I'm thinking about buying a second motor to referb from the ground up. Maybe I'll start with a frame and work my way up.

Thank you!!! I am honored to be the BOTM! I'm still making small tweaks on the bike, I'm sure it will never be "done", but I loved the process of building this bike and I hugely appreciate the community here!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
