well, not exactly the tins, just a little "touch up". when i bought the tank decals, couldn't get them with green feathers, so ordered blue.
thought it might be a neat contrast, but really didn't like it. so, dug my old sign painting brushes out today and found some model car paint in a metallic
green that matched the bike paint pretty close and re-did the feather tips.
BEFORE AND AFTER....

thanks alain,
i rarely pick up a brush since i quit messing with custom cars. used to do all my own flames and pinstriping. i already had the tins off as i've sent my carbs in to have them re-jetted and go the full stage 3 system on the LC. as Tim The Toolman used to say...MORE POWER...UH..UH..UH!!! |

is there a meaning or message behind this particular design.john, i've always had great respect for the native americans. one of my best friends in the service was Navajo, and my grandfather was part Cherokee. besides that though, i just feel they lived a great spiritual live, connecting man and nature...'til the white man came along! this is an interesting site as to the meaning/belief of the eagle feathers: <http:/www.eagles.org/native_american.htm> bud

Bud, those look great. I know if I had done that they wouldn't have looked 1/8 as good. Nice work.

That sure is beautiful - it's great that you "customized" the decals to fit your ride! Well done.
