Crash paints a LOT of bikes for Harley Davidson's Museum here in Milwaukee. Last fall I finally talked him into buying a jap bike, this is what we found via craigslist:
He made a new taillight for the bike and cut a ton of crap off the frame and smoothed it out, changed the seat and rear fender, re-routed all the wiring and brake lines inside the frame and made a box to hide a bunch of wires / electronics under the seat. This spring he broke it down for paint, so far so good.

Not really big into custom bikes. Was the before photo considered to be a near finished rat rod type deal? Because clearly the new form is going in a total opposite direction. |

Was just a ratted out bike that a guy built in his garage. EVERY car and bike deserves a good paint job IMO. The bike was done when Chad bought it, but not his style so he tweaked it and squirted it. I like the after much better, will be more ride able now
