Gold Leaf - Flake Sportster

Kristian´s blue flaked Sportster I gilded "Little Bastard" last year, is more or less finished.. the seat is in my shop for some custom leather work, but it´ll be on the road this autumn.. :-) It´s pretty much an original Sportster, with some custom paint, apes etc.. and it doesn't take much to make an Original pretty cool!

Leather Craft - Sporty 4.0

Ulv´s rigid Harley Sporty 4.0 is ready for the road with the seat I made for him..

Harley Sportster - Project

Roger´s project which I will customise this autumn/winter with gold leaf, pinstriping, some lettering and a new leather seat with motive, after Kristian have done the paint job, which I think is going to be pretty cool.. We are trying to do a little combination of "old skool" and high tech/modern style..

Most of the bike is built by Custom Speed in Norway, including the frame and many one off custom parts..

Pinstripin, Gold Leaf, Lettering & Leather Craft

Jan Frode´s Iron Sportster chopper, which I pinstriped, gold leafed, painted a pinup on the gas tank and made a leatehr solo seat for is getting ready for the road.. Kristian Sabel painted the bike matte black.

Gilding - "Little Bastard"

Kristians flaked Harley is done with clear..

Gilding & Lettering

More or less done with the outline and shadowing of the gold leaf on my friends Sportster gas tank..

For this one I used House of Kolor "Royal Blue" and "Process Blue". I dont think I´m going to use HOK much more again.. 1-shot enamel is more glossy, more pigment, it flows better, it doesn´t dry as fast and is a little cheaper.. :-)

Anyway, now it´s time for my friend Kristian Sabel to add the clear to make the flake pop..

Gold Leaf - Little Bastard

Started to put some blue variegated gold leaf on a Sportster gas tank for a Harley bobber.. With a little outlining, shadowing and clear to make the flake pop, I think it might be pretty cool :-) or what do you think? :-)

Pinstriping

My friend Eva from Blondinos MC is posing with her bike and skull pinstriping which I did for her a litle while back.. she and her bike is crousing around the west coast.. :-)

Flake - Racing Green "47"

Kristian from KS Lakk have painted this Sportster gas tank in Racing Green flake and are almost ready for me to gold leaf and pinstripe.. you can see the process of the painting here.

Pinstriping & Gold Leaf

Mr. Yazid, the owner of the bike just sent me a couple of pictures of his Indian Larry gas tank attaced to his Harley Davidson Sportster which I gold leafed and pinstriped.. My good friend Bønna from CBB made the custom gas cap in brass.. the bike is now ready for the roads of Brunei in Asia.

Pinstriping - Sportster

My friends Sportster 883R which I pinstriped as a "thanks for the loan" for a month last summer is now ready for the road on the wast coast of Norway, Bergen.. this winter it has also been rebuilt to a 1200 engine..

Pinstriping - Harley Ironhead Bobber

I Pinstriped the flames and iron cross on this Harley Davidson Ironhead Bobber which Kristian from KSLakk painted. The bike is built by Frederic Fontarosa and it´s built out of a 81 XLH Sportster. Featured in the latest issue of BikerJournalen with the front cover and a three pages article. Below a picture of the finished bike captured last summer.

Leather seat with pinstriping design...

Almost finished with a new leather seat with a pinstriping
motive for a custom Harley Sportster built by CBB... it still needs to
be polished and bolted to the seat pan..

Abow, the seat finished, bolted and attached to the Harley. The seat pan is custom and hand made for this bike, so all of this is one of a kind.

Pinstriped Harley Sportster gas & oil tank

A tank I pinstriped the outline of the flames..

Copper leaf - Sportster Gas tank

This was made to honour Jeff McCann which was the inspirator for me to begin with this. He sent me two of his favourite pinstriping brushes (Mack Series #10), which was my forst two brushes.. I have learned a lot from him and Jeff have now become a friend. Even tho he doesn´t customize Harley´s and other custom motorcycles anymore, his work will stand out for many years to come. Check out his amazing work here and you can read more about him here, you wont regret if you are interested in custom paint and building motorcycles! As Jeff always says, Motorcycles Forever!
