Tahiti Island - Janury 2015 - 1990 FXSTC Version III

Lace paint job, more pics with the gas tank.. I will repaint the whole bike after... for now it's just a self training.. I never done this before..
Next time I will use a spray gun with car paint.. Spray paints are not good for this purpose, for example this kind of paint not resist to gasoline.. (not true, I overfilled the bike by mistake and nothing happened to the paint)

Perfect lace paint job.. For a good job, lace must be perfectly stretched on the workpiece.. I used magnets to maintain lace in the other side of the fender..

I decided to have no wires on handlebar. I imagined to build a control panel attached on engine mount. I modified a 2005 Sportster vapor canister guard (Part No. 28909-04) and painted it to match with the whole bike...
