Just playing with the "paint" program on my computer. First pic is a real one, the second is a cafe/dirt track conversion of the pic done on computer. Turned out better than I expected!

Nice work - especially for "paint" - you even made a tree disappear!

Makes me think of one of those Mega Touch games at the bar. ;-)

Thanks. Paint is pretty stone-age, but it's easy to fool around with. I also got rid of the front and rear fenders, exhaust crossover, air cleaner support, coil, instruments, handlebar clutter, headlight eyebrow, fork reflector, etc....
Just a diversion while I wait for warmer weather and some mail-order parts!

Nice job! I like it. But, hey! We need all the trees we can get!
Boy, oh, boy--with all this newfangled tech-know-lodgey I guess
things really (?) are not what they seem....

XLX-61 was the first Sportster I fell in love with. The perfect Sportster.
Just put a black exhaust back on it and call it done...

Yes, I have the original black exhaust, but I think I like the chrome one better. I also put chrome XLX bars on it. A little chrome is nice.:wonderlan

I spent about 90 minutes on it, part of which was "learning" paint. It has a remote master cylinder, mounted behind the headlight, and a side-mount tail light, on the other side......:D :D As long as I'm cyber fabricating, it has a 90" Zippers motor and another carb on the other side, too.:p
