pretty darn good job, what color blue is that? I just sent my tins off to be painted and I am going with a GM indigo blue and white. Yours look amazing. Also, just for comparison, and if you dont mind me asking, what did the paint job cost ya?

Tank & front fender is OEM, rear fender is rattle can. Dupli-Color Toyota Stellar Blue with a rattle can clear coat. Paint job on my bike was in too good of shape to paint, so I just tried to match the rear fender. It turned out better than I thought. Slick as a eel turd.

Rear fender is slick and shining. Thanks for all the comments!

It is a very nice seat but, it's still a springer seat. I'm going to bend a pan so I can slide the seat back a little. Sliding the seat back to fit my riding posture would help a lot. Instead of me forming to where the seat has to be. I generally on sit in the seat no more than 30 minutes at the time. I basically just ride the bike to work and short stress relieving full throttle rides. Hope this helps. -

I thought about putting stars on my tank too but, I ran across the Death Trap emblems. Since that is what my wife calls my bike, I figured it was fitting.

Still true... I asked them why and they said it was a liability to sell them apart. I guess someone used their parts and almost crashed when his tire hit a part that wasn't a piece of the BCB parts and he almost lost it.

FWIW - I'd be willing to split a part of the kit if anyone wanted to go halves... I want the fender/struts and will give you dibs on the seat, license plate bracket, etc.

Reply #28 - 05/20/12 at 14:52:17 Oh - They will sell you JUST the fender itself http://bluecollarbobbers.com/web/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=... Buy that and fabricate up the struts... That may be the way I end up going instead.
