    Mighty fine looking rig. Rubber looks good, like the half fenders over the drives. Seats look brand new too. She's a beaut!!!

    Seats were almost brand new, Sears elite's, Steers will need to be done before the new year, drives are great. It has a few marks on the fenders and side fairings, was thinking in the spring I may two tone it, fenders steps, skirts a magenta with gold flake? Not sure how that would look? Ever seen a 2 tone 387 like that? I have a friend who does custom paint he painted my bike last winter, he's a crazy painter, maybe ghost flames? lol
    Pic of bike attached.
    Hard to seethe flames in the pic of the bike together so attached a pic of the fairing, its a little lumpy looking but this pic is from before wet sanding, after wet sanding it looks awesome, he's the flame king! once did a drum kit for me.

    I've seen a 387 that had a flame paint job. They were real flames, not ghost. Looked pretty darn good. It was a black truck. Don't know what you paid for your truck, that's really not important to me at all, but I think it's very nice. Like the steering wheel and other wood accents. Is it a condo or studio?

    I had the truck for 3 weeks and the trans blew apart (come to find out it was an ex-Star Transport truck) so I took it back to the dealer and got my Westen Star. Even tho I had a bad experience, I still would buy another as it was not the truck/Pete's fault the trans gave out.
     
    BigJohn54 and Gears Thank this.

    Saw a Century that was painted like that and the guy looked like Santa Claus. Said his kids did a mini trick my truck thing and thought the paint would be fun.

    He was pissed for about a month then had people telling them he loved it. He forgave them and put them back in the will.

    I sometimes wish I had a condo with the upper bunk... that's a lot of extra storage there.
