Painting just one... I had to do a silver band so the silver color would show thru the clear area of the decal stripe...

This is the old original RT3 tank that came with the bike... when it became the Black Widow was running the RT1 tank... Agree- the satin looks pretty sick... but will go with gloss to make it all match.

Next special build if I were to do one.... would include an all Matte finish- frame, gas tank. oil tank, headlight bucket etc... would be a mean looking bike for sure!

I'm digging the tank Greg. It is quite amazing what can be done with a rattle paint and Spraymax clear. Of the 4 tanks I've done people don't believe it's out of a can. Can't wait to see you in March.
Question authority, think for yourself!

Getting excited- Cali Dream'in is now just 36 days away!

The Black Widow bike came out for a little Daylight today... good to see the bike sitting on the ground.

Time to install the New Top End- Ported Piston Port Cylinder- MX high compression head- new 34mm Carb and the Sleeper Pipe to pull it all together.

This is going to be one Crazy Fun Bike!

Greg I know better..........., but your bikes always look like they are never ridden. But we all know you ride them hard.
:Excited
I got my KDX and Bultaco squared away today next is the DT360
Lets hope there is not a weather delay like last year.

:Buds
