Always! ;)

If you are free stop by my place this weeekend. I have to confirm but I think Big Bad and Caps are coming over Saturday. Troy too.

Are you going to start a rib run thread? July is rough for me but I have some weekends in August/September available.

That's good advice! Thanks man. I will have some help but I may take a practice run with my stock tins before the guys come over.

[crux88]

Woo hoo! :thumbup:

[jwcutler]

Can't wait to see 'em :thumbup:

***Update***

The tins did arrive today. They looked awesome, but the design wasn't quite what I had in mind. When I called Bryan at BD's to discuss, without hesitation he offered to redo them. I decided to take him up on the offer and sent them back today. He's pretty confident he can get them done in time for me to debut them at the MMR (http://www.midwestmotorcyclerally.com)! :thumbup:

[jwcutler]

Let's hope the UPS Gods are in your favor!

We can head down to Lancaster to pick them up.

Nice dude:firstplace:

[jwcutler]

Those are schweeeeeet!8)
Can't wait to see it at the rally!

[X8urHD]

How does this design compare to the prior attempt(s)? Was the lightning just not as pronounced on those? Or what was it you had changed?

[Gen Xer]

The first attempt the graphics looked really good but had a little red in them from trying to get the purple. Plus they were smaller and more of them. BD actually wanted to re-do that one right away. The 2nd ones the effects were very subtle, not as pronounced. This time he hit it right on! This looks is exactly what I was going for. If I am this happy with the pictures I can only imagine how they will look in person. :)

[MnXRider]

schweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet :congrats:

[birdiemn]

Looks great man, can't wait to see them in person! :thumbup:

:lol:

I think I bring a little competition to the best paint category! ;)

Heck couple that with a fantasy footbal championship this year and I would feel my work is done.

Although I would trade it all...for a little more.

[Gen Xer]

[Cookemunster]

Wow those look kick a$$. Can't wait to see em in person!

[PeterX]

Damn... those look SWEET! :thumbup:

Oh and I'll second the call for a Rib Run. I think I forgot to pick up my gas can trophy from the last one... :oops:

[MeanDean]

And I'll trird that Rib-Run , Good Times!

[xpodell]

That looks awesome.
I'd like to get some photos of that some time.
Hoping to make it to the MMR. Maybe there.
:congrats:

its going to be close but I think i'll have them on for MMR.

when r u heading down Tomm?

[xpodell]

I'm hoping to ge Thursday when Broch passes through. I've still not got a place to sleep arranged. Broch said I might be able to camp with him Kurt. I've had some unexpected expenses come up recently and can't afford a room by myself so when I get done venting my hot air here, I'm goint to put up a message on the board, just incase someone else needs a roomie.

If you're passing this way (preferably after 10:00am) I'd be glad to meet ya and ride along. Just give me a pm/jingle.

[Gen Xer]

Yo Big Bad...
Got a head start tonight with the help of savagechopper and djhip. Got the tins off, replaced the front brake pads, did the pair valve removal and installed glens AF screw! Even got that wiring finished (we think) in the headlight bucket!
:pepper1:
Trusting UPS tracking for a Wednesday delivery of my new tins...
Hope we are still on for Wednesday brother!

Ryan looks like you're right on track for MMR, just gas 'er up and let's roll, brotha!

:mrgreen:

[Gen Xer]

OK. All set! A few little things I will be doing later but for now I should be able to roll down to MMR! Thanks Big Bad, Caps and Aussie for stopping by and helping me out. You guys are awesome. The pictures are not doing the paint job justice so I will post better shots when I can get them in the daylight where the graphics really POP! :thumbup:

Off to sleep then MMR!
