Well finally pulled the trigger and did it.. I found a guy who is good and affordable (only took 2 years)

Also if you are looking to get something done he is doing a special tank and 2 fenders for 1500.00 Airbrushed with your theme and color and a 3yr warranty.

Ok here is the work so far he is my tank and side covers and next year hopefully fenders and saddlebags :)

Great job, but I'd be afraid of pulling the bike out of the garage. Might get some dust on that piece of art. Sure you shouldn't just hang that on the wall in the garage? :lol:

Oh, my GOD! That's beautiful! Damn good deal, too. I love the white. I've been wanting to get my bike done in a pearl white (think Malibu bottle) with a Varga on the sides of the tank.

Thanks, yeah I told him I would pass the word around about his special, He is a good guy and the funny part is that pic isnt what he originally started with. He didn't like the first pic and sanded it off and started over from scratch..

The white is just a base it will be all black when it is said and done. But Pearl white would be cool.

Nice job, can't wait to see it finished. I too love the white, had a white bike back in 75.

Yeah, if I ever de-badge the tank, I'd love to get a WWII style GI Pin Up Girl on the side, Like the Memphis Belle or some such. Just goes great with that Retro Theme...

BTW-AWESOME paint job, Deadstroke!

Eh, I am happy with the viking helm badges (being part Norweigan/part Polish). Thebadges don't bother me. Just I would prefer a bit of custom paint. 8)

Update:

Here is the "necklace" we are calling it for the moment.. They will go all around the tank with smoke and a metallic ghost flame. He has 3 spots left for new jobs as well and then it will be a week or 2 wait. ETA is this FRIDAY when it will be done.. cant wait :)
