    I was painting my tank with some different spray can colors and as a fluke my friend said to make it camo with the color I had on at the moment and another color I had and... It looked pretty damn cool. Want to know what you all think. It wasnt dry yet so it looks a bit glossy, but looks better now (its flat paint). Im going to strip it prime it and paint it proper, but want some feed back first. thanks, Lou

    nevermind the squeeze, where are you gonna sit? youd have to be 8 feet tall to reach the bars with the seat that far back. paint looks cool though.

    nice beer can bag....cash them in to buy more paint.

    looks pretty cool, i think it matches the seat leather very well. really pops with the industrial flat black everything else. very unique look.

    whats in store for the exhaust?
