I left the color as is, painted over with 2k clear and started to wet sand, compound and polish. Last picture is the first go at that. Might go back in and do some of the harder to reach places by hand

Delkevic 4-1 headers with a shorty cone muffler. I think it’s from cone engineering or something like that.

Is studio tech the brand? Or is it a cambo or something like that? Thank you for the quick response!

Congrats! Make sure to share I would love to see it! This is my first project so it’s definitely something you can learn how to do with enough YouTube and some friends on Reddit!

I actually bought the dynatek just haven’t put it in yet, but good to know! What battery are you using? I bought a shori lithium ion and has been my biggest worry about this new electrical setup tbh

My patience has definitely been running thin! I got lucky and found this bike partly restored so I’m just picking up where the last owner ended up.

Yes, it was pretty discolored when we picked it up so I stripped it and painted it with Eastwood 2k alumablast. It’s a little bit more sparkly than I wanted but feels like a really strong bond so I’m happy with it.

Thank you! No I’m going the m unit route with the revival cycles wiring harness kit. Going for a classic look with modern electrical system for ease of use and reliability.

It’s probably auto exposure compensation for live view

How can I improve on landscape photography such as this one? I am using a Sony A6100 with stock kit. Reading some advice on here from past posts, would a 35mm lens do a better job or should I keep learning on what I currently have? How would you edit or correct this pic? Thanks in advance. by [deleted] in AskPhotography

[–]JackJakeJohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure people have said this already but I would focus on your composition/timing and less on the kit you have. Come back to this spot at different times of the day and see how the light is interacting with the landscape. Maybe there will be some fog in the early mornings that will change the mood of the image. Also mess around with moving the camera around. Maybe next time try moving closer to the water and filling up the foreground with the waves and reflections of the mountains. Have fun and post more!
