Frankenbike

Ok, at what point does it go from a hobby to full out bat-shit obsessive?!?

I couldn’t let that nasty rotted out seat sit on my meticulously built machine.

So a little soap and water and a little steel wool...and now I feel so much better.

I’ll eventually have all the bodywork professionally painted, but in the meantime, this will be a spray can trial and error!

And btw...that’s just clean, not painted yet.

Ok...just primed...

Pretty enough to warrant all of the work you've put into it. I'm easy because it's yours and I believe you'll make a wise choice.
 
I’m not sure...Red may be too plasticity looking...

After it dries I’ll test the seat on the bike just for looks.

This is going to take some time to figure out. I’ll try the front fender on Saturday.

The front fairing will make a big difference, obviously tires too.

Wow, is that your bike by any chance?

Do you know the history at all?

The video was in the Norton Thread on ADV Rider. (so not mine)
You could message the You Tube dude who uploaded it, maybe he has some info.. The background sounds like a Slavic language.
