bro, im as wet behind the ears as you. im sure with a little practice i could do it (ill pinstripe the new bikes tank and see how it turns out) ill post pics when i do....
i have always drawn, school desks, jean jackets etc. never painted a thing til now. i did design my tattoo! thought about getting into that too, thats permanent. hate to screw up someones skin!

update: just picked up new mirrors and halogen lights for the skull headlight project. 2 inch round, still think they are too big but for 12.00 its worth a shot...... headed out tomorrow for front custom pegs!

Where'd you get those mirrors, been looking and those look great, just checked my state laws (new to GA) and I only need one. That way i can keep my nice new bars a little less clutter free.

on ebay bro! heres the link for the seller, LINK
it said he only had one set. search ebay with this phrase: Chrome Maltese Mirror Set for Harley & Custom Bikes (i paid 38.00 free shipping)

just a heads up, i received them today and the adapter kit doesn't fit. the thread pitch for the bike is 1.00 (metric) and the adapter is a lot smaller and standard thread. im going to cut a bolt and re-thread to fit. they really are a sharp looking set of mirrors up close, cant wait to get them installed.

(bolt sizes edited)

and Jim, i just drilled the holes and added a washer below to take up the space. perfect fit! now i that i know that style will work im going to get a snazzier pair...
