 Very interesting looking paint job.

Awesome paint.  I love white on Drifters.  Mine is white but has also a wild flame theme.  I bought it that way and love it but the clean look of the pearl white is perfect on your bike.  Well done!

Hi sorry for the delay I changed my phone and didn't remember my password or the email I used to recover it.  I'll take a pic of the right side tomorrow for you.  Pipes are baffled so loud but not too loud.  I don't have the money or else I'd buy some hard krome straights as the are very nice(have 2 year old twin boys).  As for the spot lights I think I bought them for like $35 but can't recall.  On eBay.  I have an extra set if you want it I'll sell it to you for what I bought it for. The small bullet turn signals I bought off eBay as well.  New was less than $40.

Yea, I am interested. Can you private message me pics and a price?

Beautiful machine.

Can we get a view of the right side of your bike? That exhaust pipe looks pretty short. Is it loud?

Also, I really dig your light tree / front lights. And those particular bullet style turn signals. Care to provide details???

Thanks for all the responses guys. After getting the bike back I think I'm going to go with silver leaf and engine turn. Now I just need to figure out the design/ form.

That paint is beautiful, the seat is very nice also...is it a stock seat recovered or from Corbin?

thank you. Its actually a Corbin seat. I trimmed the foam a little on the sides and back and had it reupholstered

I actually inquired about that and was told as long as the lights are not emergency vehicle siren colors red, blue, orange I should be OK.

At least locally, if they didn't lie to you...you know the old saying, check local laws before ordering. The next state over might not be so accommodating.

[dkeshish]

I hate to say this, because I like the way it looks, too...BUT local law enforcement might not be too thrilled with all the illegal colored lights...and that usually leads to tickets, fines, and just general ill will. Maybe I'm more attuned to the legal aspects since I was a Rider Ed. instructor for 32 years, and I do a lot of interstate traveling. The last thing you need is to be stopped 1000 miles from home for something that is not DOT legal for street use.

Cool paint job!
And I also really like the design of those spotlights: very smooth!
Where did you get them?

eBay. Its awesome.led with color led trim around it. I have since changed my headlight to led as well to match the color of the spots

That is one sweet paint job!

With the tan seat, I'd be tempted to go with some tasteful gold pinstripes and not much else.  Let that pearl white dominate, because it looks so delicious!

[dkeshish]

WOW that is some different colour bike, and it is very nice. Really nice curb appeal.

thanks the pic doesn't do it justice as it has some nice color pearl in it

  I did that with black around my fenders, gas tank, and it does come out looking really nice if you take your time and put it on right, I found a small rubber mallet to tap it nice and tight to the edge and it holds really well.

This is not gold but it works well for fender details.  http://www.autobarn.net/custom-chrome-trim-exterior-molding.html
