    Default Parts back from artist

    Just got my parts back from the artist (art by Weeze) for my POW/MIA themed Spyder and I LOVE it!! Sheila (Weeze) did a fantastic job...just what I wanted...very simplistic. Just POW/MIA logos and strands of barbed wire on hood, fenders, and saddle bags. Wanted to do justice to the cause without junking it up.

    I have to take my Spyder in to have my cruise control and HID lights re-installed after my Trip From Hell last month. Will install the parts next week and post pics!!

    If you had really read my thread, I said I would post pics next week when I get my Spyder back from service.

    Because you are so impatient, here are a couple that obviously are not installed. When I get everything installed, I'll put the pics in a larger format and provide the link

    Geez....you'd think you were Irish!!

    Very nice. Saw a POW bike at the OCC Showroom that had the names of all the known POWs. Nice touch.

    I saw one like that too but I thought it was too "busy". I wanted to honor the POW/MIAs but do it in a very simplistic way. I have a number of friends that are repatriated Vietnam POWS and I spent 9 months debriefing LCDR Phil Butler who was one of the earliest POWs. Phil got out of the Navy and is now a psychologist in Monterey CA.

    Sweet! Nice and simple. That should look great. Is the whole thing going to be gloss black?

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

    Almost...I left a few things flat black more as accent pieces than anything...front spoiler, knee pads, console, dash cluster
