ironhead13 Report post Posted May 8, 2012 I had to wait and come back to this and re-check that pic out. I need to see that frame with the engine in...not feeling that tank... Seat looks good on it though! That angle really makes the gold stand out, cool idea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobby hdflame Report post Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) The seat looks cool on the bike. I like the gold. How did you apply it to get it just in the grooves or cuts in the leather? Looks like I can see some faint gold flecks on the rest of the seat too?? One other question. I really like the picture of the girl in lingerie. What's the significance in the arrow? Looking at her eyes, is she supposed to be dead? It kinda has a Goth look to me. Nice job! Edited May 11, 2012 by Bobby hdflame Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking at her eyes, is she supposed to be dead? It kinda has a Goth look to me. Nice job! Well my original plan was to do a multi color design. The girl is tied to a target, like at the circus. She is looking up at the arrow in her hair. For some reason in the picture her left eye didn't look colored but closed, but it is just like the other one...weird camera matrix i guess. I dyed the seat black first then applied a heavy coat of gold to the lines and took off the access with water and paint thinner while it was still wet. There is some flake left over after the wipe down, but they just kind of sparkle a little in the sunlight, very minor. I tried everything I could to remove them, but no luck. That is the thing about metal flakes, they tend to dig in and stay put....oh well, it looks good, and adds a little character. I think after a couple seasons of riding they will wear off. But only time will tell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chancey77 Report post Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) So here is an update on the build...Bike has come back from paint and is in the process of being put back together! Jäpä is getting close to having it finished now! I LOVE THE BARS and all the Brass! I have plans for a Brass Hammer and leather holster for the bars it will fit perfectly in that void.... And some more pics.... He is fabricating up some more brass pieces for the rear fender to be able to carry some gear for long hauls.

Cyberthrasher Report post Posted August 6, 2012 LOVE all the brass on that, and of course your seat looks awesome on it. Hammer hanger is yet another thing I've been procrastinating on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
