My 87 big red had a color swap! Nothing too crazy going on here but wanted to post a few pics and show it off. The million dollar question here is where did I get blue plastics? Well as long as you find a minimum of 5 people to buy a set then just about any color can be done. To my knowledge there are less than 20 blues, a few tans, a few orange, silvers, whites, blacks and a large amount of greens.
The front disk brake kit was made by Brad Rye. He also makes the headlight guard on it as well as many other very nice products. I have a rear disk kit too but its not installed yet.
The tank was restored and painted by atc tanks and decals. He did a great job! The tank decal was designed and printed by our very own Bruce Alleman aka blueline. I told him to do something different. I got a ton of compliments on it at trikefest.

I think I am done for now but I am tempted to lift it just a touch. Brad builds those as well.
Last couple pics are before I swapped colors.

The best thing is the front disc brakes. How awesome is it to actually have a big red, er blue with working brakes that actually stop!
