Jeff, very nice.  This paint scheme will give your springer a run for the money.

You ought to take some good pics of the springer and post up for these guys to see.

Thanks for all the positive feedback.    Took well over a month to come up with the theme and work out the concept with the painter.  I don't really consider myself an artistic type, and my original idea for the paint theme was leaning more towards a stormy weather concept.  However, one morning it hit me what I wanted to try and go for.  It simplified the paint scheme significantly.  I left the final rendering in the painter's hand.

I'm just very happy that he was able to convey the feeling of eagle and fire as I had described, actually turned out better than I anticipated.  I remember one of my statements to him was that I wanted an eagle head on the tank that was semi-realistic but made of fire.  On his first sketch, he came back with what looked a lot like the screamin' eagle head flowing back down the side.    I said I wanted to avoid looking like an SE -- to me, the SE look can only be on an SE.

As for rendering the semi-realisitic eagle wing parts in the fire that flowed back, all I can say is wow.  I really like how it was pulled off.

I will definitely post the completed tins and assembled bike shots as it gets put together.  They are working hard to get this ready before my trip on the 9th.

I'll have to try to get some today then with the good camera, but for now will link a few shots that are already in some other threads to give an idea.

Most of these shots were taken with my phone, so the quality may not be the greatest.  Also, in the intrest of keeping this from being huge, linking the smaller versions that the site renders.  If you want to see the full size images, find my welcome thread (http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=54705.30) as most of the shots are located in there.









Hope those work.

Jeff,

Great job so far. Looks like it's going to be well worth the wait.

Hope to see it next week.

Very nice paint job on the Springer!

But I can't believe my eyes!

Is that some trick photography, or is that a real sticker still on the engine guard?

Just had to ask.

Very nice paint job on the Springer! (Thankee!)

Guilty.

So got a text this morning telling me that the painted parts are in, well most of them.  The rest are due in later today.  Assembly has started and should be completed tomorrow or Tuesday (they are off Sun/Mon).

Complicating timelines, I'm having the entire handlebar setup replaced with chromed replacements and having all wires ran internally.

So here's a few new shots.  Most of what I took is blurry, but got a few decent shots.  No flash, internal lighting wasn't the best, and I didn't take a real camera.  Will be sure to use one when I take the final shots.

Starting with the rear fender...
