I worried about that too when I got it but it's going to clear. I dont think I'll be making to many hard turns on this one anyway. Well, unless I'm in pursuit or something..... :wink:

Basically, let's just say the whole thing is blazin'.


Thank you sir! That means a lot coming from a craftsman like yourself!

You're welcome and thanks. The black and white just looks classic on this bike. Which of course means we need more pictures so look at.
I tried being serious, but it was boring.

The only thing I've done is repaint the box that sits on the rear rack. I didnt take any pics tho....

A little update without pics....

I'm working on the electronics today. IF I can get it finished today, I think all I have left is some cleaning and detailing. Then it's done!!! I hope o have it finished this week.

Wouldn't "Boarder Patrol" be a Navy-themed bike? Border Patrol would be a police theme IMO.

The theme is a cross between a "board" track racer, the TV show "Hoarders" and the Border Patrol. Roll it all together and Chips came up with Boarder Patrol

Of course as a kid, I preffered "Rat Patrol"

I know, I know...... Aaron made some good progress this afternoon with his recovery so I'm hoping (looking for wood to knock on) I might be able to spend a few hours on it and the LGM his weekend!

Great that Aaron is doing well!!! I wasn't pushing you, just didn't want you to forget to post your pretty much finished build. Best wishes to Aaron and good luck with the builds.
