Hi fellers, thought it was about time I started a build thread here.
I've been converting an 81 standard [shadow here] to a US deluxe model. Why? Because we either didn't get the deluxe here or if we did they're very rare. My wife and I both like this model and this one is for my wife.
The red bike in this pic is what I started with.
The bike was stripped down and the frame and associated components stripped to bare metal, etch primed, red oxide primed and sprayed with epoxy enamel.
Here's the carnage shot.
Frame work.
Stripped.
Etch primed.
Red oxide primed.
And painted.
