I don't know which I like more...the shop or the bike. Very nice on both counts. Please continue to post pics of the progress and let us know when "The Dream" becomes "The Reality".

Hotglue, how did you insure that paint would / will stick to block ? Clean, how ? Paint / brand ? Know it`s going to look great !!! After a good cleaning.....scrub brush and wipedown with lacquer thinner....have plenty of ventilation!!!!!  I did this to my 97 valk years ago it worked great and lasted good the 7 years I had the bike. I used Duplicoat brake caliper paint..rattlecan.... has ceramic, and is good to 500F..... hope my block NEVER gets that hot!!!! The paint I used on the 1st bike was Plasticote brake caliper paint..... couldn't find it.... Hope this one lasts as well... |

I don't believe it. The whole thing was staged.

WOW, like others have said, the black block really looks wonderful. Congratulations on your idea as well as your execution. Can't wait to see more of your work.
All the best,
