Ch-ch-ch-changes to my Roadie 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago
|

The candy blood red and metallic silver are no more.
A few years ago my wife saw a 2014 Bolt and said "that's what a motorcycle should look like". I agreed and filed away what she was looking at.
I am nearly done with reshaping the Roadie. Here is the rear fender in place. The paint is 2014 Yamaha Bolt matte silver metallic. I threw the GT350 style racing stripe down the middle in black metallic. It has a 2 stage matte clear over it all. Tank is the same, side covers are black metallic only. More pictures later this week.
Oh, and its all done with rattle can same as before.
I also installed a Bolt LED tail light and then put on a license plate I had that I modified. It has a red tail/stop light on the top row with amber turn signals buried in it too. I put a white LED light on to the frame as it had no illumination. I also changed my headlight to a Bates style and put 360 degree amber LED strips around my forks for turns.
Heres a teaser:

A woman that knows what a bike should look like. That in itself is cool.

My wife has ridden her whole life (packing not driving). She's been around bikes plenty and knows what she likes.
I'm smart enough to listen.
One other thing I forgot to point out. See the two red reflectors on the license plate? Those are old school cut glass reflectors from back in the day. They glow very nicely with light from behind on them.
