Hi all I'm having some artwork done on my bike over the winter months and I thought I'd share the project as it develops, I dropped off my tank, front and rear mud guards and side panels at the air brush artists shop a month ago. He had a few other jobs to do before he started on mine so we've had plenty of time to work out what I want, I wanted a battle of Britain theme seeing as it is the 75 anniversary so we did a fair bit of research on the B.O.B. and come up with a couple of ideas. I received a video of the first part to be done, hope you all like it I know I do. https://www.facebook.com/brian.cairns.7/videos/1239324802760868/
Been a while since my last post so bit of an update to give you all on the artwork, collected everything from the Airbrush artist Saturday and put the bike back together. The first two are the side panels showing a spitfire and a hawker hurricane these two is the rear mud guard This is the view from the front of the front mud guard and the rear of the front mud guard these are the petrol tank, first one is looking down, second is the LHS, third is RHS this is the tank on the bike and this is the finished result taken outside yesterday
all I need now is custom exhausts, I'm looking at have slash cut exhausts but resembling the exhausts on a Mk1 spitfire. So it would need to be three slash cuts in succession on each side, only trouble with that is I'm all out of funds My only option would be to find a custom exhaust garage/shop that is willing to make and fit them and in return they can show their skills off at one or two bike shows, does anyone have any suggestions?
Hello there Bricairns, that's an amazing project you've got going there. Excellent paintwork. Re the exhausts, these people do a huge range at modest prices : http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/bsa111?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2754 Maybe something like this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal...haust-1-1-2-/371478537809?hash=item567dd8a651 And if you wanted to make it more dramatic you could cut angled slashes into the sides? I bought some pipes from these people for my Bonny and they were great - good quality and very reasonable price-wise.
