WOW! I love that Chrome and painted tank/fenders. The scripts accents it perfectly! So...was the tank chromed or is it that new fangeld chrome paint? I like the idea of the drilled exhaust covers... Side cover art is nice!

That is one TRICKED OUT PONY you got there laddy. You gotta be proud of that beauty. I got a thousand questions but I'll start with just one... was the overall concept yours? Because if so, you are one creative dude worthy of all the recognition you and that bike can get. Congratulations on a masterpiece, a true original. Now don't be shy... talk to us. Get your wife to help if you need to but get ready for some dialogue 'cause there's lotsa people here who'll wanna ask you stuff. You live in Calgary? I'll right over!!
Live to love, love to live.

How did you get the paint to stick to the chrome?

Classic, it looks old but the wheels give a new flair. Outstanding work and vision for a detailed one of a kind ride, plus, that's way cool "Venus at the pump" art inside the fly screen

First of all, thanks very much for all the feedback. Yeah, Mountain Man, got the wife on the job typing.
To answer some of the questions:
Yeah, the tank and the fenders were chromed. We were told that the painter had done this previously without any problems, however it was not guaranteed.
The overall concept was mine, but based on lots of different ideas. I wanted it to look as traditional as I could with the help of all the modern aftermarket parts - if that makes sense. The fenders and the drilled exhaust heat shields were my idea but with the help of the guys at Precision Frameworx. Aftermarket parts are from Fast Eddy's, New Speedmaster, Bellacorse, and Bonneville Performance. Basically I told the guys at Precision what I wanted and they did the job. It turned out even better that what I had imagined.
I can't make it to Nelson because of my work schedule, but I would have loved to have been there. Thanks again, Taheke.

Well in that case I'm thinkin of crossin' the Great Continental Divide and coming to see your creation in person. Seriously... hey, you started it by posting pics of that beauty of yours! LOL!!
Psssst... my TBA is out in the driveway so I don't think she can hear me but I'm just leaning just a tad towards jealousy.

Seriously nice bike, 1001 questions like everybody else. Wouldnt mind knowing where the heat sheilds came from.

I sure hope that paint stays adhered to the chrome. But for now it looks pretty (and) stunning.

So.... you seem to have touched everything visually, what do you have for power? Stock, big bore, headwork, anything?

I've been scrolling through the pics of your bike for about 5 minutes and my wife just asked what I was looking at and if I realized I had said "That is so cool!" about ten times, out loud, to myself in that amount of time...

Still love this bike, the only thing that stands out as odd to me is the fly screen. Doesn't seem to go with this style of bike.
