Forks are done

[wickedchop]

Yes Tone and thanks for asking, I will definitely take a pair of them for Xmas. I will pm u my address....lol. they look amazing man. Nice job and tell Julia we said helllllllllllllooooooo, oh, and tiny!

 

[ToneTheMoan]

I hope you dont want them gift wrapped!! lol Thanks and Julia says hello back at ya! Tiny doesn`t say anything he`s a dog! ha ha ha :eagerness:

 

[au-rora]

Tone, you are a seriously talented man. The black sliders are a sinister finishing touch to quite an amazing looking XB. I don't know how you thought of this, let alone pulled it off! Well done mate!
Like AZmidget91 said, brake rotors next... and maybe the headlight reflectors? Food for thought...

 

[ToneTheMoan]

Thanks mate very kind! black rotors would be awesome but i do believe it would be impossible? bollocks! ha ha ha The headlights i may think about to see how they look, blacked out wont matter to me as i never look where i am going! lol :eagerness:

 

[au-rora]

I can just picture you now - continuing to work on "Going where no man has gone before" Haha
But seriously, your all black project is very clever.

 

[Cooter]

You and AZMidget riding together would look sweet!

 

[thrstrmech]

think you need heavier chains and bigger locks to secure the bike:tongue-new:

looks awesome

 

[Phelan]

They look sweet! What's the story on the tank cover, and those odd bars sticking off the handlebars?

 

[ToneTheMoan]

cooter :up: :up: thrstrmech they are on order! lol and you can only see the "legal" stuff in the photo not the "other" stuff! and Phelan those are mods i had to do to ride again with my damaged right arm, the bars bring them closer to me and lower and the ugly hole is to allow for bar clearance which is a shame but it was that or dont ride so no problem choosing! and i still have my perfect cover for stationary photo opportunities! lol :eagerness: Thanks everyone!! :eagerness:

 

[ToneTheMoan]

This shows them a bit better

 

[Cooter]

That's a great look!

 

[ToneTheMoan]

Thanks Cooter! :eagerness:

 

[submax]

Very cool, Tone! That bike looks like it was dipped in molten black...nice! :up:

 

[ToneTheMoan]

Thanks submax! i like the "dipped in molten black" so i shall steal that saying and use it as my very own!! ha ha ha Cheers mate! :eagerness:

 

[thrstrmech]

one of the best looking all black Buell around

 

[ToneTheMoan]

^^^ Thanks mate! thats really nice to hear!! :eagerness: now I just need to paint the seat hump dark black to match the airbox, anodise the subframe (seat rails) to match the forks and then try and sort out that bloody horrible seat! i wish i could find someone who can actually do a good job of shaping and recovering a motorbike seat instead of all the ones i have met who say they can do it but cant!! its proving to be the hardest problem to solve!

 

[wickedchop]

Okay, everyone has seen your forks now. Are you going to remove them and send them to me soon. Xmas is around the corner.......

 

[ToneTheMoan]

No problem! are you going to send me a million dollars in cash. Xmas is around the corner.... ha ha ha :eagerness:

 

[wickedchop]

Hahaha, if I had it Tone I would send it man! They would look good on my black bolt tho.

 

[AZmidget91]

Tone I'm coming for you! I went black, don't know if I'm ever going back!

Just kidding, still like the white better!
