Well spotted. Duane, your bike is so **** slick. That tru flame is fantastic work. I bet that they stop and stare everywhere you go.

 

And we have a winner, good job Jason! Here's a better pic............

i win i win!!! do i get a free paint job?!!! again, looks awsome. Great job, you are very talented. Question, do you keep towels handy to whipe the drool off of the bike from passerbys?!

 

Thanks for all the compliments guys! I really do just sit around and stare at her when I can't ride and try to figure out what I need to do next! Not just new stuff, but what I need to redo. I'm never satisfied with my work, and after a very short period I start repainting or changing stuff in my mind until I can see it like I want it! Then I take it off and tweak it. When I'm painting, there's airbrushed parts all over my living room so I can analyze what I need to change before I clear. The true fire is getting better with every piece, or at least I think so. Good thing, since my plans right now are to put a new "make anybody happy" paint job on my Vstar and sell it and buy a second Warrior after the first of the year to set up for 2-up riding. Yes it will also be Indigo w/true fire, but maybe different murals. I'll never tell! Thanks again! Forgot to say, removed my chrome inspection sticker plate too! It now resides under the seat. Better there than not at all.LOL

 

That is truly some gifted work there. Very nice!

 

You're quite the artist and your work is awesome. I bet you could find some cheaper canvas though. Good thing you find time to ride between paintings and getting it back together to be able to ride in and of itself is quite the challange

 

Awesome Duane, !!!

 

Your bike is really something else. Awesome work, Duane.

 

I ride my Vstar during the week to work, so I have evenings to mask, prep, and paint. True fire goes on pretty fast, always takes longer for masking and prep than to paint. murals are another story. I usually only ride my Warrior on weekends or off days. Not too crazy about letting it out of my sight. Thanks guys, the compliments are what makes it really special! Just remember, you can do it too. just takes a little how to and practice. There are more and more of yall doing your own with great results!

 

Thats one red hot ride dude [8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][^][^].....Frec.....U.K..

 

very nice..............

 

Nice! I really like that belt guard.

 

Awesome looking bike and alot of all the work paid off nicely. You think you could fly to NY and do some true blue flames on some of my parts for me?[/emoticons/emotion-2.gif]

 

Thanks Gregg! That is an incredible honor to get an offer to paint on your bike! Still waiting for Lavallee's new DVD on how he does blue flames to be released. I've got video of him doing it, but I want to be sure I have it all right before I start painting blue/green/yellow etc. fire. Where is New York? LOL
