    My first bike project! thanks to all on this site! Rick ... My Carbs are Sooooo clean " Sir-yes-Sir" and the bike just purrs. I bought a set of vacuum gages
    yesterday for the fine tuning, and will finish with a color tune.

    Here's a side view ... the gold accents don't show very well in picture, but I tried gold leaf on the engine, valve cover,and a few other worn parts, then high temp clear coated. It's holding up good so far.

    Sweet looking ride you have there.

    Great job taking that lump of coal and turning it into a shiney diamond.

    Flash's bike looks great with it. It's his style of bike. I think yours (ours) looks better without it.
