1st off...SWEET BIKE!

And for the BAD...perfection takes time and an artist to ensure that it gets there!

Keep up the AMAZING WORK

Nice bike John......If I lived in BC you would have a hard time getting me off my bike . Here in Flatario , not so much .

Nice choice on the bike!

I'd be out riding that bike too instead of finishing my project haha..

Very nice bike.

Beautiful Bike!!!

Yes, but does it signify the end of this project? I love what Carlo has been doing, but this thing has been going on for years. Im starting to think this will never be completed, even though I hope it is .

Hey now! RBS is like a fine wine....you can't rush it....

For many builders, the building is the most important thing, not the end result. Whether it takes a month...a year...or fifteen years. Just sit back and enjoy the skill you are seeing!!!

Thanks everyone TXOPIE, wftb, mr_corean, Joseph and War Hammer for the nice comments about my new toy...

That isn't due to lack of skill. You just keep changing your mind.

I wish I had half your talent. Seriously.

Lookin' Good. Doing things over and over is what gets it right in " the minds Eye" ! (only a bone stock automobile can Ever be "Done".) LOL you have a PM.

Bit more sanding

Hi there.

I have been following your build for some time and I absolutely love what you are doing.

Keep up the amazing work and I cannot wait to see this baby on the road.

Wow.. looks tremendous, awesome.

Thank you so much Jocksoft and Steel She's very happy to have fenders again

Started adding first layer duraglassfenders will match sharp headlight edges



Foam peeled off nice and easy



A bit more sanding and more dust to come...

[This message has been edited by Car-Lo (edited 10-26-2016).]

Lookin' Great ! How Many "Layers of glass" Before you Dura glassed it ??

How do you finish the duraglass to avoid pinholes?

You and Bozzie are both doing some amazing work !

quote Originally posted by mr_corean: How do you finish the duraglass to avoid pinholes?

I just patch up the imperfections as shown below !

I little update...

Removed headlights and finishing opening









Removed hood and fibreglass underside fenders to hood making one strong piece, using heat lamp to cure fibreglass





One solid flip hood

Why am I thinking 'Transformers" after looking at that last picture? Fantastic build !!

Hurry up and get some paint on it before the wind changes direction. LOL! That hood looks awesome.

Hi Carlo - you should get some bracing or framing in that hood and strap it in its final resting place for a week to let it properly cure - otherwise you will come to re-fit it at some point and it will have twisted or buckled or warped! Great progress - thanks for sharing,

Thanks AndyQB for tip and help, everything worked out when glassed over foam to hood (it was cured at that time)

Today's update: this how the front looked this morning...









Finished only half of front and primed, it looks great with Harley...
