    got the 82 and circle on...never had any idea how hard a stencil would be to put on a curved surface...difficult is an understatement

    Looks great! Did you do the tank with a rattle can or hit it with a gun?

    Curious about that too. Is that a rattle can job? Mainly the forks. Those things look very sweet man. Makes me want to make a project out of mine. Did you bake it?

    This may be a newbie question too, but I see the springs coming out of them and I also see the transition tube for air? Have a feeling it definitely is a noob question, but are they dual?

    Thanks guys. The paint job was not a rattle can job it was the real deal my buddy has a decent setup in his garage so he helped me out a lot. The forks have a couple coats of black and then a few more of clear to really make them sharp looking.

    BAD NEWS, the paint job looked great in the garage but when it got out in the sun light it had dull spots...so it went back to primer and has been repainted (which is bad but a little bit of good because we got to make the racing stripes fatter and the circle fatter too) Ill post some pics.
