Title: Before and after with ammo cans Post by ALfromN.H. on 04/25/12 at 16:17:35 Okay here's a before picture. I'm sure you've all seen this picture. Then there is an after picture of what the bike looks like now. What do you think? http://p1.bikepics.com/2008/05/13/bikepics-1287678-800.jpg http://p1.bikepics.com/2012/04/25/bikepics-2390341-800.jpg |

I thought about it for a long time before pulling the trigger. I liked it the way it was but the white paint was pretty trashed with scrapes and scratches. I figured if I went with a flat paint, it wouldn't show all the mistakes and it worked pretty good. |

I agree, the ammo cans would look cool. I wasn't gonna put the hard bags back on but my turn signals are mounted to the bags and I didn't feel like messing with new turn signals so the bags went back on. Maybe I'll look for some ammo cans, AL |

Title: Re: Before and after Post by serenity3743 on 04/26/12 at 11:12:09 I like it, Al! So you'll be bringing your "after" bike to the Tail of the Dragon this year, huh? |

Title: Re: Before and after Post by John on 04/26/12 at 14:03:18 Who did you get to do your seat? It looks a good bit wider than the stock seat? Nice color! |

versy was right about it being a corbin, pretty pricey but it was worth every cent as far as I'm concerned. Or should I say, as far as my butt's concerned. The before picture was a sporster seat which was better than stock but not by much. AL |

Title: Re: Before and after Post by ALfromN.H. on 05/06/12 at 11:44:21 So someone said that it would look good with ammo cans as saddle bags. I did it this morning. Here's a few pics. Not sure if I should paint them or leave them as they are. http://p1.bikepics.com/2012/05/06/bikepics-2396588-800.jpg http://p1.bikepics.com/2012/05/06/bikepics-2396590-800.jpg http://p1.bikepics.com/2012/05/06/bikepics-2396591-800.jpg |

Title: Re: Before and after with ammo cans Post by Cavi Mike on 05/06/12 at 12:23:33 That looks AWESOME. Way better than the other bags. And no, you definitely shouldn't paint them. |
|
Title: Re: Before and after with ammo cans Post by Greg on 05/06/12 at 12:27:57 I agree with Mike...That looks absolutely incredible! I wouldn't paint them either. |

Title: Re: Before and after with ammo cans Post by 223fan on 05/06/12 at 13:38:06 That is a great looking bike.Semper Fi. |

Title: Re: Before and after with ammo cans Post by AlphaBarney on 05/06/12 at 13:46:40 Great looking bike. MUCH better with the ammo boxes! IMHO |

Title: Re: Before and after with ammo cans Post by justin_o_guy2 on 05/06/12 at 14:55:46 Not sure if I should paint them or leave them as they are. Al,, seriously man? Just look that, step away & turn & look at it.. If you saw that bike sittin somewhere, would you say to yourself " Aww yea,, but he sure shoulda painted those cans" or would you just say Aww yea"? Time to ride it a while... |

Well I wasn't talking about painting them orange or pink or anything like that. I was thinking I should prolly paint them the same as the bike. The two shades of green are a little bit off. Then I could do some stencilling. But I'll just leave them the way they are. The only thing I have to do to them is install the turn signals but thats just a matter of drilling a few holes and running the wires. |

Title: Re: Before and after with ammo cans Post by justin_o_guy2 on 05/06/12 at 15:27:40 Well, Al,, I see your point, & yea, they Could look better, & some personalized stencils that you come up with would be cool, yea,, its a shade off ( Bummer you didnt think of the cans before you painted the bike. YOu coulda taken a can to the paint store & had them match the [paint to them.) Hmm,, went & looked at that pic again,, the shade you went with is a lot better lookin than the paint on the cans.. You got paint left over to do them or you ghotta buy more? Is that rattle can? What would you stencil on? Maybe get some Nuke symbol decals? Im usually not very big on theme stuff,but for some reason, Im diggin that one, The TKat is the right brace for that setup. |

Title: Re: Before and after with ammo cans Post by Fish on 05/06/12 at 16:10:38 I liked those other boxes but the ammo box saddle bags finish that bike off perfectly. I say go ahead and paint them to match the bike, and then put some stenciling back on there. |
|
Title: Re: Before and after with ammo cans Post by WD on 05/06/12 at 16:15:08 You need to add a rear fender extension and a vintage style tail light. Would make the cans look more proportional. And black out the shiny bits, ya wanna draw sniper fire... ;) Just messing with you. |
|
Title: Re: Before and after with ammo cans Post by verslagen1 on 05/06/12 at 16:30:13 couple of trailer light for signals and you'll be set. lookin' F N A bubba ;D |

Title: Re: Before and after with ammo cans Post by justin_o_guy2 on 05/06/12 at 16:58:35 If you could get some wire grids to put over the headlight I think that would look good.You? How about this for rear signals? http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-59523690850641_2207_7167518 Since youll be painting, you could drag up any old marker lite off a semi ( as long as its an amber lens) & hook them up. |
|
Title: Re: Before and after with ammo cans Post by verslagen1 on 05/06/12 at 17:08:39 red on the rear is acceptable. and if you figure out how, could use them as stop lights too. |

Title: Re: Before and after with ammo cans Post by 2011suzukis40 on 05/06/12 at 19:25:27 I love the green machine. It is so cool. Looks awesome!! Good job! :o |

Heeeeck Yaaah! Coupla them with 1157 sockets in them & wire it up like tail lites on a car,.,get signals & brake lites all in one little lamp. I think those would like great on this bike. |

Title: Re: Before and after with ammo cans Post by RidgeRunner13 on 05/06/12 at 20:56:49 All you need is a trailer wiring converter for a car that has seperate brake & turn signals.You can get them at any parts store. I have one on my Savage for the trailer I pull, but on my other bike I replaced the turn signals with some surface mount LED brake/turn signal/tail lights & used one on it too. I made a wiring harnes that supplies power to them & a trailer light plug also. Works great! :o 8-) http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n94/Pappygt13/V-StarMods437.jpg |
