Cool bike ! How did you paint the exhaust and all that though?

Good looking bike. Nice work.

Since I only bought the bike for $800 I haven't been very afraid of tearing it up and painting it.

I actually just used high heat spray paint to black out the engine and exhaust.

Cool, which paint did you use? Did you follow a tutorial for the painting process? (trying to do the same thing on my bike, so any information on the process helps)

manhands0321 · 10-26-2014, 08:53 AM

No tutorial, I just held a piece of cardboard behind items I was spraying to avoid overspray. Any black high heat paint should work. Just make sure what ever you are painting is wiped down and clean of road grime and oils so the paint adheres well.

I like those saddlebags, where did you get them?

I know this is way late but where did you get those sweet saddle bags

bpmadden · 02-03-2016, 11:30 PM

Seriously, where did you get those? They're sweet!

This is a very old thread so you may not get an answer from the original poster.

As for the bags I will offer a suggestion. They just might be repurposed back packs.
