XJ rebuild F86 fighter jet theme artwork comments
Posted: Wed Apr 10, 2013 3:58 pm
I am in the process of having my XJ600 rebuild to resemble a F86 sabre jet. By looking at my gallery you will get the idea of what I am trying to accomplish. The reason for this is that found that the cowling on my XJ resembles the air intake/front of an F86 fighter jet. Take a look at my gallery and you will se what I mean.

currently I am having all the fairing, tank, fenders rebuild in aluminum. Once this is done and fitted to the bike I will use rivets to resemble the the original look of the airframe. And then there is the questions of what artwork to add to the bike.
I am currently undecided between the layout on Robbie Risner Sabre or the Skyblazer layout - both layouts can be seen in my gallery.
What do you believe would look coolest on the bike. The Skyblazer theme or Robie Risner/Bugs Bunny layout. ?
Everything is being handmade fra alu. sheets. - just imagine the craftsmanship that is being put into this bike - thanks to Evan from Speakeasy Motors. Is it free - hell no but that is the cool part having a solid regular bike turned into art and a tribute. I think my XJ deserves it but then again aren't we all a little crazy.
Your comments about what artwork to choose and why is important feedback. We want this bike to turn out great
