Making progress on my Vaquero

rekogniz1 · 07-25-2013, 06:00 PM

Just thought I would share the progress of my Vaquero. I got my tins (and plastic..lol) back from paint. After waiting five long weeks also got my front wheel and rotor, pipes, boards and air kit. Man it is slow getting parts from companies, but is coming together. I really just wanted to give a plug for the very talented artist that did my airbrushing and paint. if you are located in Colorado or want to ship your tins, he is available to do your bike. I like the fact he won't do two bikes the same. Anyways let me know if interested and I can get you in touch. Also, cannot figure out how to get more than one pic attached?

Awesome looking front wheel. What's the size/price/purchase place?

Looking pretty sweet! Though you never actually plugged the painter.

Sweet ride!

captj3 · 07-27-2013, 12:31 PM

That looks stunning! What size is the front wheel? Did you need any kind of a kit to install it?

Thank you all for the nice comments. To answer a few of the questions: the front wheel is a 21x3.50. No kit was needed, just had to fabricate a bracket to raise the front fender and tilt it forward a bit. I decided to run a single front brake on the left side to show more of the wheel so I had to get a new brake line and get ride of the old brake line setup. The paint job would run about 6k.

Man, That is just awesome I don't doubt the quote on the paint either. It is obviously first rate work.

Would look better with a set of your bars on it! LOL
