You, sir, have a SWEET ride. I remember seeing a picture of an old Evans Powercycle; it had black frame, red tank, and white tires. And I remember thinking it looked very cool for an antique. You have captured the look. I like.
 
Re: Tortuga Bikes Red & Black Project

Thanks Mad Scientist. I was not sure if should have gone with a red or black or blue tank. I do know I needed a break from the old insta rust color. For now the tank will be red. It took some time to mask off each spoke but not to bad.
 
The bars fell great compared to when I had board track racer style bars. I can relaxe on the longer rides. Those bars are regular beach bars that I added on about 7 inches on each side. Got about 6 of them free from Roland at Spookey Tooth when he would go to the 4th ave bike swap here in tucson. GOOD TIMES!
 
This is what the bike looked like before.

Nice work! Nice clean build. I know what you mean about the bars. The board track bars are great for speed and cornering but I like the classic bars for just cruisin around.

Sweet it is.


Would this be the Evans you refer too?

That Evans is cool. I really like the motor and the colors. I would like to build another one with this color combo. Does anyone know about this bike?

That bike was built by Dan at Taylor Motorbikes. I can't find it now but I believe there is a thread on it.
