Okay so this is probably the incorrect shape then, isn't it?

Funny, I wasn't expecting there to be a part of the bike that was both easy to find and affordable.

You can usually find the Wald 898 handlebars on Amazon for less than $20.

I'm guessing had we built our bikes 25 years ago, it would have been more affordable, but more difficult to find the stuff without having the internet.

It's a weird ironic twist for me today: I have the day off because of all this damn snow, but I have nothing to do on the bike today.
Maybe I can start sculpting the tiger.

How should I go about finishing the paint once the red is dry?

Use Duplicolor automotive clearcoat. I recommend giving the red a light sand with really fine sandpaper before. Also use the clear coat on your tiger siren once you have it painted with the acrylic paint.

Should I wet sand the red or is that only more of something for the clear coat?

Been a while since I checked in, but glad to see everyone is making progress. I'm actually in the disassembly stage on several parts of the bikes, so they look less finished than ever. In the meantime, I hit 10 bikes I'm working on total, favorite at the moment being my latest Higgins Colorflow project. In the meantime, this arrived today:

Freakin' awesome poster by OKPants. For the perfectionists, it is not an "accurate" bike, but it sure is stylish. Going to get it framed & put in the room with the X1 & X2 bikes. Love it!

What's the fastest way of pinstriping?
And is pinstripe tape hard to use on the curved fenders?

As in only using pinstripe tape instead of painting?

Well I have no idea how to pinstripe, so I have no idea what's the most efficient way.

Yup, if you don't have super steady hands, use pinstripe tape. I used it on everything. I'm currently in the process of installing a new fork on my bike, but I lost one of my steering tube bearings so I have to find it!

Does the tape easily follow the curve of the fenders?
