BEAUTIFUL!! The red rims and whitewalls are exactly what I want to do as well!! Questions... Are the rims powder coated or painted? If powder coated, did you have to take all of the spokes off first or did you tape them all off? What color red is that? Are the tires painted or did you buy them white already? If you painted them, any tips for doing so? Thanks!Quote:

There is no dealer near me so I bought the stock bike directly from PIT and Brett put me in contact with Tom Weaver to customize it for me. The bike will be shipped to me in Austin on Monday. Tom also jetted the carb and painted it red. I also had the seat springs and motor mount painted red. The air horn comes stock in red.
This will be a great change for me as I have an Harley Ultra Classic for taking longer trips with me and my wife. I have missed having a "cool" bike, but for this money you can't beat it!
Sgt Barrow, first up Welcome to the MCM boards, the CCW tha Rider family. And my personal favorite the Red Carb Club LoL
Spoke with Tom yesterday and he was exited about your build, seeing the pics i can see why. Its a nice looking ride man and you are gonna have a blast on her.
I have aprox 6000 miles on my scoot the widow and she is running strong, lots of fun and able to keep up with the big boys for the most part as long as they're not pulling 100 mph all in all I'm very happy with the bike. Outside some painting and one or two small cosmetic changes I will be doing over the winter she's complete.

The bike is finished! Kick start & electric start / jetted carb and G & D exhaust, red rims and white walls / air horn / LED barke and turn indicators / 15" ape hangers / painted springs / oil tank and engine mounts / over sized head light. Man I am so happy with PIT and Weaver Rides. They treated me great all through this process. Highly recommend to anyone wondering. They sent me photos and worked with me every step of the way. Tom Weaver even through in some extra's at no cost, best service I have ever had!

Awsome photos. The bikes are going to really catch on, so long as the reliability factor is good, as they have such great potential for customizing at a price point that can't be beat. I cant believe PIT is having difficulty finding a distributor in my area. Austin has a gigantic biking population with our great weather year round. I know there are a lot of people waiting to see how my bike works out because they are amazed with the look and price ratio. For anyone looking for a custom bike without breaking the bank, this seems to be an unbeatable product.
Those two bikes hit the nails on the head. So much going on with the lil trumpy lookin one.
Got a big package today.http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/...1/01ec4b3b.jpg
Opened it and was happy to see my new ride.http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/...1/58c4795b.jpg
Now she is at her new home with her big sister...started up first kick and runs super strong. Weaver carb work is the way to gohttp://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/...1/538e66a5.jpg
