Umbrella Corp theme motorcycle

Always been a big RE fan, and earlier this year I had an idea to build an Umbrella Corp theme motorcycle, it's finally started to become a reality. I started with a Vulcan Nomad 1500, and completely stripped it:





The plan is to have all the parts powder coated in a textured paint (rough to the touch and matt finish), the 2 fenders and saddle bags in an old military green and all of the chrome is being done in a similar textured black.



powder coating is finished now, we're down to the graphics and fine details now, the plan is to have the umbrella corp logo in color on the left n right sides of the tank and the logos on the saddle bags (done in light and darker greens to match the bike) on the saddle bags - crossed guns on the right bag and the medical symbol on the left.

Once all that has been completed we're going to start dirtying the bike up (rust marks, scratches, some gun shot residue, a ricochet or two and a decent dose of blood smears and cast off), since military vehicles sometime have alpha-numeric codes on them for id , I'm going to use the RE code for the Hunters "MA-121", possible use the same numeric code as the number plate...I got my custom plate frame the other day



What do you guys think?

Holy shit dude that is awesome!!!!

I wanna make a RE guitar some day.

Ah shit. I remember you telling us about this. Nice to see you're making it a reality.

Here's the number plate frame, gps and the speedo

The GPS comes with software for editing the icons and some of the sounds, I've got the sound bite from the red queen saying 'You're all going to die down here' as the 'destination' file....still not sure what I'll change the vehicle icon to yet

Dude you are awesome, this bike is going to be so beast!!

This is so amazing :O

Some new pictures....finally got the exhaust system back from the powder coater's...a satin finish ceramic black, looks fantastic, it's gonna look amazing on the bike...also attached is a pic of the mock circuit board we're going to us as the back drop for the T-virus vial display we're building in the saddle bag - a fiberglass box which will hold 2 pistols, clips, possibly a couple of grenades and a mock up C4, cicuit board with t-virus attached and if I can figure out how to do it a 30sec countdown timer

Gotta love the Umbrella chip.

Some more pics for you guys .....parts are all prepped to start taking the graphics, blood, GS residue and smoke damage, the saddle bags are going to have a weapons symbol on the right bag and a medical symbol on the left.



the kill box is almost complete now, just needs the switches placed and for me to get the finger out and build the t-virus vial

You!!! WOW!!!


I don't know what to say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is amazing, I love the sight of bikes and you are making this Umbrella Corp

That is how I reacted but I just didn't type it down.

That looks to be a pretty epic motorcycle when it's all finished. You sir are pure awesome sauce. Can not wait to see this all finished.

Thanks for all the support guys LOL I'm dealing with a couple of bike places and ppl getting the parts I need and none of em are getting the bike, they just keep asking me why I'm getting rid of all the chrome and looking all sad when I tell em to get rid of anything that's shiny on the bike. But I knew geeks would get it ...bike prob wont get a second look at a bike show, but to hell with that, I'm aiming to have this for comic-con, show it to ppl who really understand this stuff

I've always preferred matte color anyway

This stuff is looking great.

Here's the Helix designs, the initial attempts with the blue and dark green turned out a little too dark for my liking, but the florescent green seems to have hit the nail on the head:





Just need to find the right kind of caps for the virus tube and I think this will look pretty good

Oh dude that's cool, the dark green one is my fav.

Aye, I like the dark green one too but it's too dark inside the saddle bag, the florescent one with a couple of led's shows up a lot better, the dark green one is just a bit too black in there....I might keep it tho and make a desk light out of it.

Now that you mention it, it does seem pretty black for it. Yeah I'm going to have to agree with you.

If anyone is interested in learning how to make em let me know and I can throw a step by step into an e-mail, it's not that hard

Hey, you know what? E-Mail me.

I could use it in the future.

Graphics and fine detail are finally finished, so now it's time to get the electrics and lights done...what do you guys think?

Another week or two should see the bike finally on the road....I'm pretty excited

Holy fuck man, that is SICK!!!!

That is looking magnificent.

here's the front fender, it's been re-done and a lot better I think than the original attempt....we might have messed up the T-virus vial tho but it remains to be see once it's all wired up and the lights are in place....for now tho this should be my final 'piece' picture posting....next set of pics I post should be the complete bike fully lit up.

Lookin good man, lookin good.
