Key switch mounted



Front suspension lowered, time for tear down




Everything is going to powdercoat, exhaust ceramic coating, cadium plating of small parts, aluminum buffing, chrome plating and a killer custom paint job.

From the looks of the stock parts you are not using, you could easily sell or trade them on this forum.

I bet he does his own metal work. I see a mini english wheel in one of his pictures.

Looks good. That little bike was so complete that I would have been tempted to just ride it.

Parts are back from Zinc Coating These are almost too shiny.





The wheels have a slight metalic dust. Only will be visible in direct sunlight.



Fork legs shaved and gloss black powder coated.



Ceramic bake on the exhaust. They came out way nice.
