Default It ain't purdy

Last night while visiting the board I decided to change the handlebars on the sissy schwinn. I decided this morning to make a shot and post it with the old one as well. So here goes.


this is how it looked before I painted it and put on the different bars. What you cant see in the original is the rust and scratches from the old electric drive I had on the bike.



this is what it looks like this morning.

Please note the extensive and expensive tool kit in the foreground. This part of the kit consists of a cheap screwdriver, a vicegrip, a channelok, and a brick hammer it was what I had at hand when i switched the handlebars.

I'm thinking I might shoot the fender and the gas tank with aluminum paint what do you guys think. yes... no.... h*** no

The box on the front is leather from an old russian camera I bought once. I'm not sure I like it but it will work as a holder for a spare gas can. Enough to get me home anyway. I tend not to check the tank before I ride.
