Did you cut out any of the sheet metal to tuck the tubes or are you just stripping the interior?

 

Just stripping at the moment, I'm undecided at taking the inner sheet metal out, I may just beat it in the spots tubes need to tuck

 

Cut it out and tuck the tube as tight as possible. Then you can take sheet metal and plate the tube to the body. Will be just as strong but will look better tucked away and give you the most room.

 

The only spots that will be in the way are above the windshield and from A-B pillar on top. The A-pillar itself and everthing behind the B-pillar inner metal can stay. I can say its very loud driving with no interior

 

I know what you mean. Easier said than done but leave the sheet metal where your interior mounts, tuck the tube as tight as possible, dynomat the shell and re attach all the interior panels.

 

Thats the plan, hoping to get all panels back in

 

Looking forward to seeing you finish this thing, but you know cages are only for people who plan on rolling right?

 

Or people with really big splits on their cab from too much flex

I'd be down for that.

I know cbass. He did my UCA's, 885's, AAL etc. good dude.

 

Well lets figure out how much paint and get the ball rolling on this.

 

My fenders look like snow that's been peed on

 

a pint of white should do it.,plus reducer-white covers well. Quart of house of kolors clear,the hardener and reducer and you should be set.

 

How much will all that run do you estimate?

 

Thank goodness you're here

 

eh.. Clear can be pricey..my memory sucks..i wanna say the clear stuff is around 100 for it all..white cant be more than 40 or 50 bucks.

house of kolors is expensive.but it lays out awesome abd smells fuckin fantastic

 

Oh wow that was better than anticipated!

 

that's how much I made last year fixing jeeps

oil pan,rear main... 5.5 hours each.. Hour and 20 minutes to do it cause I'm a badass like that

Question. I want to repaint my bike (02 Honda Shadow Sabre 1100). I have already stripped the front fender, and will begin stripping the tank, rear fender, and trim panels. I was going to paint it flat black or matte black, but I am not sure. Any ideas on a good color? Maybe Radiant Red?

 

did you strip it to bare metal?
flat colors are a different clear, and if you fuck up its harder to fix because you can go in and sand\buff like normal stuff.

as for colors,I love candy colors and ghosting stuff in, esp when I do bikes.
