project fuel tank

painting in Arnhem was cancelled for the weekend. will go there on monday.
so I decided to finish the tank and fenders
I re-painted the right side of the tank because someone said it was a nice tribal...
in my book tribal is WRONG!
so I had to redo it :)
much better now
I also lowered the front fender (no picture, sorry)
when I did the final 2k coating I left it to dry outside but then it started to rain just a little bit. didn't notice it at first. now is have a nice raindrop pattern in the coating :(
the rear fender is temp.  will cut the subframe next week, yeah!

tomorrow I will go to Hamont. just over the Dutch border near Eindhoven.

An other great topic on the Autosport Bulletin Board

a small selection

"inspiration"

at the joints custom bike show this year Ready Made Motorcycles was clearly inspired by one of the Ace Motor Cycles bikes.

same engine, tires, hand grips, paint job,  rigid frame, tail, seat, magneto, tank, handlebar, color combo, etc
I think the "original" is a much more balanced design.
the Ready Made bike is still a very nice bike but not very original to say at least.
could not find the ready made website..

copy is the highest form of flattery they say but I would be a little bit pissed if someone would do that with my bike to be honest.
