Phone Picz

I wanted to see how some of my old phone pics looked on the blog, so I am posting them here now. Just a few projects from the past, and maybe a friendly face!




I was riding across the Golden Gate Bridge, when I had to take a pic of this sign!

SHC's Latest Creation

The latest creation from South Hill Customs, my Buell M2RR. The front is the 2000 Buell M2 Cyclone, the tail is the 2003 Honda CBR 600RR. I purchased all the parts used off eBay for about $200, and did the bodywork and paint in the garage with the leftover black I had from the Stingray and Honda Accord. I had everything painted on Saturday, but the run I put in the tail fairing did not come out using the razor blade technique I had researched about. So, I had to repaint the entire tail after I sanded it down and primed, sanded, shot color and clear....again. After I re-assembled it and took it for a test run to get some fuel, I realized the hard way that the fender eliminator I had fabricated was too low, and the license plate took a beating. I straightened it out, and moved the plate up. so now everything should be good. I'll post detailed pics a.s.a.p.

Back in Black!

I haven't documented this bike build all that well, but I have a quick update. I finally got the last part from eBay, and proceeded to finish the fabrication work last night and today. I welded the new seat bracket and tail fairing support, (and only had 3 small fires this time!) and gave them a coat of POR-15.

It was then time to prime the for the last time, and lay down 3 coats of black DuPont ChromaBase basecoat and 2 coats of 7900 ChromaClear. I have a long run on the right side of the tail (the whole side!) so I gave that part an extra coat of clear, because I will have to wet sand and buff it out tomorrow. I found this fix on YouTube. The parts are hanging from bungee cords and drying in the garage tonight. I don't recommend trying to paint them that way though, they bounce and fly all over the place as soon as you point the gun at them!
