Finally almost complete!

Post by Jarrett »

Well, it took some time, and some "experimenting" to finally get everything completed right , but I think I'm almost done. I'm just waiting for my new Corbin Gunfighter to show up and my electric fuel pump parts. Here are some pics.

I'm not sure of the source of those decals, they came with the bike 3 years ago when I got it (800 bucks).

However, if anyone would like those decals, I have a high-quality camera that I can take pictures with if you wanna try a sign maker/decal maker. I'll work with you to get the right size pics... so forth...
