Thread: bobber project, take 2: '79 XS650

what's the point of pictures without them being on the bike? i'm booked solid until mid saturday.

To make sure your bike is awesome lol

the gaskets aren't in and it's just sitting in the exhaust ports without being tightened at all so they are probably hanging low and/or crooked.

happy?

Maybe

No. Try again

nope.

Yes.

no.

yes

This is almost your bike in the background, I thought it was at first

what color would you ceramic coat these...choices are: clear, silver, black.

I would go with clear to allow the metal and welds to be seen. Its a rough bike, suppose to have that rough image, almost a rat rod look. Show off that look.

i was told by the ceramic coating guy that black or silver was going to be my best bet. the other 'colors' tend to fade and discolor.

and honestly, if i'm going to wrap the exhaust...who cares what color it is? black might be the way to go.

I like tlsheff idea better. But it us your bike so build it your way

I have done silver and black a couple times on my own junk. I would just do it in black and wrap it. Or give them a brushed look and clear ceramic them...

So you have your balls ceramic coated? Did that hurt

Good looking bike, I say black ceramic coating with the olive wrap and leave about 6-3in of ends exposed would look sick

that's the way i'm leaning so far.

coat them black and find army green header wrap with copper bands.. win

same idea plus copper bands = SHWEET BOB! as long as you keep the copper look on the tank... just MUH input your bike..
