The wife asked me if I was going to finish the Corbin project before the custom seat,so I went ahead and carved off the hump,in addition to the previous nose job and tummy tuck. Haven`t decided the finisher yet,but I`m leaning toward a fiberglass cowl or my favorite upholstery,Carhartt coveralls.

The Corbin is just the daily rider seat until I get this hammered into shape. :-D

Rod - I love the way you powder-coated the pipe! The best part is you left the tip chrome - that's what does it fro me. YES, this will be my winter project. Can you tell me how you did it or do I just send it out and tell them to mask off the tip and blast the rest?

HedgefundGeek,
If I'm not mistaken, I believe he's only using BBQ paint

Les,the bars are stock,just rolled down a bit.
Geek,Ivar is correct. Rustoleum BBQ and blue masking tape.

Carhartt would look sick!! Get a section that has the patch on it and have it stitched so that the tag is near the tail and centered, that would be f*%^ awesome....durable as all hell too!!

I keep talking myself into a sarape (colorful Mexican blanket with lots of green) for my seat...but I don't want to turn my bike into a Circus bike...
