Before - Jan 2011 - Paid $650 for this bike.
Mechanically sound but cosmetically ugly!
So I decided to dress her up a bit - started with a banging out some dents in tank and or course those I could not pound out I bondo'd. Then I added the Pink custom color I had whipped up at the paint shop. By the way this is my first attempt at painting.

Then I added my clear coat that really made the lace design pop.
Then the remainder of the transformation happened - with powder coat of exhaust to black - as well as my rims and forks.

She has served me well - in fact since I purchased her I have put over 5000 miles on her and ride her almost everyday (the luxury of living in Florida is biking year round)
Hope to see you on the streets!









You rock baby how many girls have done such a restoration? More should you are inspiring them! Love you...
ReplyDelete:) Thanks.
ReplyDeleteNext bike to restore is a CBR - currently Two Brothers Scheme but soon to be a new work of art so I can give this bike to our business partner Chris - she will love the design I am working on for her bike. Colors: Wine and Silver/Gold with Celtic undertones in the design.
Will blog that one all the way through!
Awesome work! Looking forward to learning new skills when I come down, teach me your magic, it's definitely an inspiration!
