Another custom FJR paintjob in progress..

[Ari Rankum]

Once your bike is finished, it needs to go straight to a photographer for a photo shoot.

+1

That work merits being published in a magazine, or two.

Hey all,

Thanks for the words! Yes it is quite sick,

I had a mechanic in town who takes racy photos of hot slithering bikerchix on sportsbikes- I'll give him a call to do a shoot when the wife is out shopping

I'm guessing it'll be another two weeks before it's all back together. He's working on the 2nd saddlebag now and will do the trunk following that. Then he's got the nose, glove compartment, mirrors & all the other miscellaneous silver parts.

He's doing all of this work for around $2000 to 2500. I shopped around a few artists and this was by far the cheapest (and dare I say best!) for the work I wanted done. I gave him some Giger artwork and told him to go crazy on it with just a little steering: ie, no major ****, make it dark, cover it. I'm sure he'd like increased business. When I pick up the pieces in another week or two I'll ask him if he can manage a forum discount!

Right now I've got some black Holeshot slipons on the bike. I'll go w/ the headers once I pay off all of this! Other farkles I have include the MCCruise, G2, PC3, Zumo550 w/ XM, Starcom1 Digital, WildBill's brackets w/ Kury extenders/zombie pegs, PIAAs, N-Line shelf, Knife's passenger boards, CalSci screen, undertail kit w/ hugger, front & rear sliders (rear ones to protect this paintjob!), Adaptiv radar detection w/ on-bike LED alert, Blinder laser jammer w/ killswitch, Townsend's helmet guardian locks, K&N air filter, grip pups and a few other things I'm probably forgetting.

I'm all about the Dallas riding - let's meet at Motopia sometime and then go out for a ride!

Heck Yea! we should have an "Unveiling" of the final product at Motopia! That bike is gonna draw a crowd where-ever it goes!

 

[zorkler]

I can make it out until i see the finished product .Looks like a hell of alot of man hours .

 

[Greenzilla]

That is going to be one seriously freaking cool bike.

I guess it's too late to ditch those reflectors....can't wait to see it !

 

[raclow]

Those are some wicked graphics. I can't wait to see what you're going to have to wear to compliment the bike. There has to be spikes off your shoulders in the mix.

 

[dj bill]

just wait till he pulls up to pick up your daughter for a date,no need to worry...lol

My wife is telling me the design of the bike nauseates her. A good sign! More weekend escapes for her visual refreshment. My three year old, Loki, will no doubt get creative in his accosting of her so her nauseation-reflex doesn't suffer attrition.

The bike will definitely outshine its rider. Either my leather jacket with CE armor (winter) or a Kevlar shirt with strapped elbow & spine protectors in the wicked-hot Texas summer.

I could see something like this published in a European magazine where sportbikes mingle with attitude and phone-*** ads. In the U.S. there might be some backlash from "American Chopper" readers?

You got the wickedmobile put together yet? We wanna see!

 

[Hotboot]

The IMS in Dallas would be a great place to show it off......this weekend. Is it done yet ?

don't take it there unless it's going to be in a roped off display. some squid on a fur-covered beater bike will walk by and kick it over. it's in dallas this year. not ft. worth.

That paint is freakin' awesome! I'm a fan of Geiger's work myself, and I haven't seen a bike done up quite like this.

Ditto on the photoshoot idea, I would LOVE to have your bike on my desktop! (In my garage would be better, but...)

+1 on how awesome it looks, and I hope you can post some high quality pics for desktops. My bike is going to be getting some paint work due to a rendezvous with a 120# Siberian husky at speed, but I think I'm cheaping out and just going stock.

If I had the money and it wasn't a copycat of yours, I'd love this theme. :dribble:

How is your rebuild coming PFG ?
