Looking good. You might want to put a spray skirt of some kind over that back tire... Seem to recall Frisco being rather damp...

Looks good!  Cool But, I would have to agree with WD, you might want some sort of rear fender/skirt to avoid the back spray the first time you hit a puddle  Shocked

Curious as to what you've got going on for the brake/tail light there, is it a Model A like others or something else? Better pic from behind would be great.

Thanks for commenting.  Here are some more pics and details of my bobb.

This is what it looks like now.  I took it for my first ride in two weeks.  Boy, I didn't know how much I missed riding.  I was dreaming (seriously) like every night about riding.

The seat is from BCB.  The rear signal lights are the same one's from ebay as Babyhogs.  The tail light is from Ebay as well (more pictures below).


Here is the front view.  The lake is from Golden Gate Park... about 5 min from my house.

Close up of the seat.  Very nice.  Little wide in the front than stock.  However, I did not have to ride leaning forward as with stock bike to relieve the pressure from by tail bone.  I think the stock seat is nice, but it really bother my a$$.

Side view of my bike.  The header wrap is high temp titanium.  I didn't know if I would like the color, but it looks fine, so I prob will not paint over it.

Ok, here is my rear fender.  Almost done.  I have been painting it for over a week.  I was going to take it to body shop to get it done, but they wanted almost $400.  They said it was because it was Pearl paint and needed so many coats.  So I decided to do it myself using rattler spray (Krylon and others).  I first sanded the fiber glass with 220 sand paper lightly.  Sprayed with primer on both sides.  Used very light coat to avoid running.  This took about 2 days.  After drying for 24 hours, I sanded it again using 660 wet sand very lightly.  I let it dry for about 1/2 day.  Started spraying with regular white... about 4 coats.  After drying for 24 hours, I sprayed with pearl paint from Colorite ($33 a can..expensive, but no one sold spray pearl paint).  Sprayed multiple layers over 2 days, until the color matched my original fender.  More you spray pearl, less white it got.  As you can see the color is very close.  After drying for another 24 hours, sprayed about 2 layers of clear coat on both sides.  Once it dries for 48 hours, I will polish and wax.  If you are planning on spraying... only thing to keep in mind is:  Be very very patient and follow the direction on the can.  Oh, if you have paint run, use 1500 wetsanding to get rid of that.

Very nice!! The rear fender finishes the bike perfectly! Nice job & congrats on the paint. Oh and don't paint your header wrap, it looks good like it is!

It does look sweet bro! Can I just request a close up of your license plate mount. Where'd you get that fender?
