A good friend of mine who is quite proficient with the lens offered to shoot my bike. Though the light was not the best, he still managed some neat stuff!















And yours truly setting up for the first shot

Great pictures! I still look at your seat and think "not with these hemorrhoids".

On your clutch cover, how deep did you make those dimples? I just cleaned and painted my cover and was going to make three dimples with a 3/8" drill bit on each of the three vanes on the cover, but I just didn't feel like there was enough material to do it without leaving the back of the cover paper thin. Apparently, there is enough material. Crap, I really wanted to do that, but it's not only already painted, but installed on the bike. Maybe if it has to come off in the future...

The dimples are really shallow, just enough for effect. I actually did it with the cover installed, too!

Very nice shots, great choice of location for your bike.

But for some reason my butt hurts.

CruxGNZ

No ****!? Wow, brave man. After looking at how thin the material is, I would be hesitant doing it with my drill press.

I also second the location.

Do you have any more pictures of the other side of your bike? You show only one picture of the left side. Could ya post up some more if ya have 'em?

That Hawk is effin' radi-cool.. The polished frame looks great, did you do it yourself?

t99ford

Yeah, I polished the frame. Not any harder than any other aluminum polishing, after you get the clear coat off. After that it is pretty easy.

how does that exhaust handle both cylinders, sound good? and whats up with the red chain. bike look sweet all together.

t99ford

The 2-1 works really well, and sounds good, too. No performance problems other than a easily remedied slightly lean midrange. And quite a bit less weight.

The red chain is ties to the airbrushed graphics I did on the top of the tank:



All so no one takes the bike too seriously! Thanks for the props, a lot of small details, here.

I really like the Kool Aid man. It's such a great change from Maltese crosses, Gothic script, skulls, skeletons and themes of death, destruction and machismo.

t99ford

Exactly. Thanks man!

t99ford

Got a few more pics on a ride the other day. These include some of the drive side, as requested!











Sorry for the shameful picture posting...
