I wanted it to be more comfortable and yet look good. I just kept changing things until I had the bike I wanted.
I liked the concept of a Harley that handles well and doesn’t feel like a tractor.
I came up with the idea of what I call “3D” flames. I’ve never seen them done on any other bike-or car for that matter. I masked off the flames then applied automotive two stage seam sealer where the flames will be. Before the sealer dried I unmasked it leaving the flames input a1/6 of an inch above the surface. Then I scuffed and painted it.
Besides the flames, it would have to be the color combination. Candy blue, candy red and gold spice with flat clear. I painted the engine cylinders with Cerakote Black and the cases with a special mix bronze with flat clear.
People want to know what it is because Buells aren’t all that common anymore. The colors always draw comments. A lot of people say it looks fast.
