As far as the parts that I took off the bike, I do not want to sell just the bags. I wanted to sell all the parts as one box full.

The parts would be from the swing arm back, ie, bags, rear caliber, wheel, tire, rear rotor,fender with licesin plate mount, rear turn signal, shocks,axel,bag filler strip antena set and all the bolts.

list price looks to be $4534.00 I would sell for $3000.00

A local painter ( Ernie Ball ) is doing one now. He also did the one on the V-rod that made the bike mag a few months ago.......it should be a killer when he's done. BTW, it's going to the trike manufacture as a demo.

BOSTONUT,

That is my bike/trike that he now has to paint. I am going to goto Springfield on the 8th to pick it up. We were going for the 1st but it did not get done.

Dean, Did he ever get the paint figured out? He took some pics of my bike sunday for an example.....Hope things work out....

bostonut · « **Reply #6 on:** May 03, 2004, 05:49:21 PM »

Dean, When I was at his shop Sunday . Ernie is painting a friend's street rod this week. I noticed he has all your body parts ( fenders, tank, side cover, etc. and the trike in primer.
Why did he strip the factory paint?

DEAN_NELSON · « **Reply #7 on:** May 04, 2004, 09:52:01 AM »

What I wanted to do was use the stock paint and "fill in " the flame's with some color, add some paint to the top of the tank . When he went to get the paint for the trike body he could not get the same paint, he could do the black but not get the same as the blue.

At that point all he could do was to strip the whole thing and start over. The black will be the same and the blue will be close to the Harley blue. The blue panals will be changed a little from what Harley did.

When it is done, I hope people will look at it and think "this is what Harley should have done"

He is so good at doing custom paint it is hard for him to repaint it "just stock looking"

I have been using him for the last 25 years! He has never let me down on a paint job.

The V-Rod trike and hand made body was a chalange for him last year. If you want to see the V-Rod you can goto www.dfttrikes.com and see it.

It should be done by 5-8. I need to get the bike done as we have dealer shows to goto
with the trikes and we need this one to sit next to the V-rod.

If you go past his shop let me know how it is doing!

Dean

I did see the picture of the V-Rod trike on his bullitin board [smiley=thumbsup.gif]. It looked pretty awsome. Ernie is an artist with his paint. He just finished paint on a street rod built by Boyd Coddington for a local.....so what does that tell you.... [smiley=thumbsup.gif] .If I get a chance to slip by his shop I'll let you know how it's going.....

is the paint done yet?

DEAN_NELSON · « **Reply #10 on:** May 12, 2004, 10:11:30 AM »

Paint is done. I went on monday to pick it up, got back to Chicago at 9:00 pm with it.

Put all the body, fender, tank ect back on last night. I need to do some small work on it tonight and it will than be done. I did start it last night and it ran O.K. I might need to get it remaped, I just can't tell , I now have the stock mufflers on it but due to to trike we cut the can short, the muffler is now 10" long. their are no factory plates or baffles left inside so it is almost like straght pipes.

If the sun is out I will take photo's of it and post them.

The paint looks close to stock with changes to it. The flames are now "filled" with a light blue that you can only see with lots of light. No light and you don't see the blue fill in paint.The gold band that runs around the blue panals is now red. The "Harley-Davidson" on the gas tank is a silver not gold.

And as good as Harley is with paint and looking "wet"..........This paint takes "wet" to a new level!

Enclosed are the updated photo of the bike done

Doc,

You must have been looking at the same time that I was posting! Sorry. Look now they are up and running.

110tHunDer · « **Reply #13 on:** May 17, 2004, 10:07:19 PM »

Dean, you and your wife look like proud parents! [smiley=laugh.gif] The trike looks absolutely fabulous! [smiley=bigok.gif] Hope to be able to see it in person sometime if you are ever near Peoria or I am in your neck of the woods. [smiley=beerchug.gif]

Is that another (pewter-colored) trike we are getting a glimpse of in a couple of the shots? Perhaps a Gold Wing?

f0rky · « **Reply #14 on:** May 18, 2004, 06:45:03 AM »

Dean, you have a very nice trikes!.

On that trikes , do you have a reversed-gear ? sorry for my dumb question [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

cheers -andy

Doc · « **Reply #15 on:** May 18, 2004, 09:42:46 AM »

OK, I'm thoroughly confused. All of the pics at the top of this thread, prior to painting, show up fine. But I have no idea about the finished pics. Apparently others can see them, as there are comments, even from Asia. Weird!

DEAN_NELSON · « **Reply #16 on:** May 18, 2004, 10:07:35 AM »

103THunDer,

You are good with your eye! It is a 1800 Gold Wing. The kit will fit on the 1500 and 1800
We do not fit the 1200.

Andy,

Any of the Harleys can have a reverse gear. We have installed them for some that want it but the cost to do one is $1800.00 installed. I have not had a reverse on my last three trikes, I just don't need it. All you do with the trike, is park it the same as you would your bike, use the angle on the parking lot to park than when you leave just pull in the clutch lever and back it goes......

If the lot is flat you can push with your leg as you sit on the trike, they move easy on flat lots. Than as you get good at it, if the bike is parked by one of the parking blocks, just start the bike, put it in first gear, roll up to the block and bump it at 1-2 mph, the forks will come down and than the spring in them will bounce back up and you get a reverse and back you go!

Doc,
I could not get them to come up at 8:30. I did a refresh and they worked. It might be the server I am using to hold the photo's.

Dean, I can't see them either... Did you use that invisible paint from House of Color? [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

DEAN_NELSON · « **Reply #18 on:** May 18, 2004, 01:43:48 PM »

PCC,

Not being good with a computer.......I don't know why some can see them and others can not?

I have them set up on our computer at work, I was told that each time this post is looked at, our computer loads the photo's so you can see them.

If the computer at our end is overloaded or slow or whatever, they don't load at that time? Each time I look at this post they are their.

I will ask my people to look into what might be going on.............

I think most are seeing them, I put them out their at 9:30 on 5-17, and the counter on this post was at 248, now it is at 351 so about 100 have looked at it and only 2-3 have said they can't see them...........

Sorry......I wish I was better with this computer stuff but I am not

Cabo · « **Reply #19 on:** May 18, 2004, 06:30:48 PM »

I see the pics fine also..Did you ad a red stripe or did the copper just photo funny..I like it!

DEAN_NELSON · « **Reply #20 on:** May 18, 2004, 06:49:28 PM »

Cabo,

You are correct. The copper is gone and replaced with a red one.

When we could not match the Harley blue dead on, we had to repaint the whole bike.
In the repaint I told him I wanted it to be the same as how Harley painted it. He wanted to change it just a little so anyone who looked at the bike would know it was a total repaint.

So the red replaced the copper and the flames got "filled" with just a little blue that you can only see in the sun. The blue flame outline only shows in the sun, if their is no light you dont see the outline. The other change was the name on the tank, it was a gold and it now is a silver, but all the letters are put back on the same as stock.

Dean

Dean:
the guys at Reno Harley are planning some nice things for you Posse riders! I'll make it a point to get down there to greet you. Always nice to welcome a "SEEGER" to town. [smiley=bigok.gif]

Anyone who can't see the photos...go to the statement where Dean says that they are included...and hit the quote button, as if you were going to type a reply. When it comes up for you to reply, the addresses of the pictures will be listed. Cut and paste the addresses to a new browser window, and you can see the photos. I am not sure still why this happens on certain computers. Hmmmm. I think that posting the photos instead of a link would have taken care of it, such as was done in the previous unfinished trike photos. Cool! Great pics!
