i had thought about an orange tank painted to look like a jack-o-lantern but i’m not quite sure i could pull that 1 off. i started looking into tank wraps but nothing has caught my eye yet. thanks again for the feedback.

I’m thinking black with orange highlights for halloween. Just don’t go all harley davidson on it. LOL

the pipes were made from some exhaust turns my old lady’s brother had laying around his garage from previous projects. i did use the first 2 inches of the original exhaust so that i had the exhaust flange.

we had alot of halloween stuff laying around the house and i grabbed up a hand full of it and took it out to the garage. my son just started playing around with the stuff and telling me were he thinks it should go. i’m not sure about the color yet, my son thinks it should be green (his favorite color) but i’m not so sure what that would look like. the gas tank will be a spiderweb if i ever get it done, and i’m planning on adding a spiderweb sissy bar on the back. thanks for all the possitive feedback. and as far as the title for this bike goes, its costing me $450 to get one through a title company. well worth it once the bike is done.
