      Hey guys,

    Been a member of this forum since I got my 48 not too long ago, you may have already seen my vid, just thought I'd share some news, got some parts going on my bike tomorrow, scribbled out some concept art for my new fuel tank which was recently handed over and crafted by Immersion Imaging into the living thing. Was a fantastic experience so far working with Mick on this project, from end to end. Can't wait to share the end result when it's all installed on the bike tomorrow:

    CONCEPT ART I made:

    Goodies being installed with the tank:

     

    Last video I posted of the bike in it's current state:

    I'll be making another vid once the new bits have been installed

    Looks like it took them a bit longer than expected, but all is going well.

    Front forks needed to be lowered 3mm to get the 16" apes on, tank went on well, making sure the cable is done neatly they need a bit more time.

    Estimated delivery tomorrow :)

    Keep you's posted

    I like the tank but not sure about the writing? are you doing the fenders in the same paint scheme?

    If I had an unlimited supply of coin I'd prob think about getting the front/rear guards done, but at this stage it'll just a staggered upgrade... these goodies, new grips, levers, cables, nightster tank, artwork, and installs is around 4k on it's own.

    See how it goes in the future... would like to get some other bling to get rid of all the cheap bits on the bike, but in good time :)

    BTW the writing isn't orange paint, it's gold leaf foil, but blends with the background so some of the effect come through, in the sun it'll shimmer pretty nicely....even with the matte finish
