Thanks Steve. When I repaint it I will put a candy green over the top. Maybe a little heavier flake.

Beautiful job. If it were me I'd lower the headlight. "To raise the attitude, lower the altitude." We all have our own sense of style and yours is awesome.

I'm looking for a 750. I am currently taking some welding classes. I have experience with MIG but not TIG. I had to take a 101 class before they would allow me to take the MIG/TIG class. I am kicking around the idea of a turbo bike. Either way the concept will be vintage fighter plane.



Bare aluminum with some vintage fighter graphics. Lots of rivets, Tank will be custom made as well as a belly pan and tail section. Engine will be a 810 kit. I am looking forward to the challenge.

Thanks for the pics.
What an amazing level of detail on the Phoenix Fighter. Every swuare inch is just so well done.
I'm sure that bike would take top prize in any show you entered.

Well done!

PS . Great background for the pics.

Thank you for the compliments JR but it is more of a ride and shine bike. I wanted it to look nice but not be a show bike. There are plenty of imperfections that you would see if it was in front of you but I am proud of it and the next bike will be on a whole new level.
