| Make Over
Since Time And Oppertunity Has Presented Itself, I've Started A Make Over Project. It All Started With A Old Quick Bob Tank. It Had A Hole In The Bottom And Only One Mounting Bracket. I Fixed All That. It's All Primered Up And Sitting. I Pulled My Tins, And Still Don't Know What Kinda Jack Ass Puts A Lock Nut Bolt Under The Seat That Isn't Welded. I Had To Pull My Tire Off. With A Scissior Car Jack, Used Rope To Tie Down The Frame To Both Sides Of The Garage , It Hasn't Fallen Yet. Nothing Like Scotch Brite'n A Perfectly Good Paint Job. After Pulling My Stock Tank, Compareing The Differences In The To I Decided It Would Just Be Alot Easier To Just Use The Stock Tank. I Never Liked The Gun Metal Blue. Didn't Have Much Of A Option, So I'm Going The The Common Black. So Now I'm Waiting For The Funds To Finish. You Know How Awhile Back I Needed A New Tire, So This Kinda Make Sure I Stop Risk'n It By Ride'n. I'm Also Doi'n New Pipes Grips And Mirrors. I'll Post Some Picks In A Couple Of Weeks When It's Done. |

| Done For Now. The Paint Looks Orange In The Pic, But It's Really More Red, It Changes In The Light. The Color Was Red Orange.

| Nothing like workin' on your own stuff.
I just replaced my stocker bars on the Sporty with a set from and '05 softail.
Had plenty of supervision, which was MUCH appreciated, and due to that it came out lookin' great.
I'll have to take a pic sometime and figure out how to put on the site for y'all.
You did a GREAT job on that bike, I love the red orange color...it oughta really stand out.
