bobber project, take 2: '79 XS650

the gaskets aren't in and it's just sitting in the exhaust ports without being tightened at all so they are probably hanging low and/or crooked.

happy?
 




I would go with clear to allow the metal and welds to be seen. Its a rough bike, suppose to have that rough image, almost a rat rod look. Show off that look.
 
i was told by the ceramic coating guy that black or silver was going to be my best bet. the other 'colors' tend to fade and discolor.

and honestly, if i'm going to wrap the exhaust...who cares what color it is? black might be the way to go.

I have done silver and black a couple times on my own junk. I would just do it in black and wrap it. Or give them a brushed look and clear ceramic them...
 


Good looking bike, I say black ceramic coating with the olive wrap and leave about 6-3in of ends exposed would look sick
 
same idea plus copper bands = SHWEET BOB! as long as you keep the copper look on the tank... just MUH input your bike..
