Just beautiful! Almost too good for an MB but it sure looks like if this is the energy you put into paint, the rest of the bike will be just as awesome.

Let's see her together!

For myself, and a few other local guys, I am creating the ultimate Spoiler. Gene, Craig, myself, and Karen will have very unique MB's.

They will be belt drive with a 3-speed internal hub behind the seat post as a transmission. They will have a Jockey shifter that operates the SRAM 3-speed hub. As a work in progress I have many more design ideas for tid-bits that will complete these bikes.

These bikes are the reason why the new engines came about. The engine will be a highly modified Billet China Girl that will get all of the replacement internals needed to ensure a good engine.

The front wheel has a provision for dual disc brakes...(Craig), Kawasaki has already set-up his this way, and it stops quick!!!

These Spoilers are going to be very unique when finished...I can't wait to see the reaction on Clearwater beach when Karen and I ride ours.

Jim

I was going around in circles trying to figure out a seat for the Indian Larry Theme Spoiler. I contacted John Grenga of Naples Florida who has made custom motorcycle seats for me in the past. His work is excellent and he actually can tailor a seat to the individual with back problems and persons that need special considerations. Custom seating materials including all types of leathers and alligator too. And Gels and Memory foams. He is one of the best around and I think he is reasonable with his prices as well. Here are some pictures of the seat he has just completed for me.

His link is below check him out.

Thanks John !!!!
