I was a slut this weekend in Hot Springs. And not even a cheap one. Pulled the new (to me) trailer for the first time. Just to see what it was like as much as anything else. All the advice from those that had been there before was much appreciated over the weekend.
Had a few weeks ago got it painted to color match the light red on the bike. And it looked good. No complaints at all really.
Then at the Hot Springs event saw a painter working who had done some work for me before and who I'd seen many times around the country. Pitched my general idea to him of a nice simple way to finish connecting the look of the bike and the trailer. He said, sounds good, couple hundred bucks. I said "sounds good, I'll go get the trailer."
Of course actually looking at it he had good ideas to extend my initial, basic, frugal idea. And as he did I kicked my hind leg log a dog who is getting "the spot" scratched just right. So $200 became $400. But I like what he did. With the Screamin bird engraving in the forks already, and the air cleaner cover and the shifter the work continues the them from front to rear very well. His color match of the gold and the orange are dead on too.
Sorry for showing off a bit here. But I really like how it ended up.
