where do you ride? I live in arnold off 55 just south of 141. i dont really go on highways around here (hardtail)

Anyone from St. Louis or surrounding areas? Looking for rides or events. I know of bike night at Mile 277 on Wednesdays, and Vintage Bike Night on the first Monday of the month. Just didn't know of anything else? Would love to meet up for a ride or something...

So here are a few updates on the scoot. I got a fat bob rear fender and cut that up a bit. I also got some solid riser bushings from Hughs handbuild, and might I say, they are high quality and bad ass... On with the pics.... Still need to make a rear fender mount that I want to...

So, I haven't gotten too many things done in the past week on the bike because of the holidays and work, but I did get the frame welded up as well as the tank mounts. Currently in the pictures I just have some nuts holding the tank on, I will soon be replacing them with gold plated wing nuts...

It's called Fox's Pizza Den, on Manchester right behind Silk's Frozen Custard. Come check it out, my name is Derek, I'm the owner.

Im from Ballwin area, and I have a restaurant in Ellisville. Hopefully my bike will be up and running soon, and we could get a ride together for the spring.

My bars, grips, tail light and fuel line came in yesterday. My tail light will be mounted differently, I just wanted to see what it looked like on the bike for the time being. I also have a new throttle coming in, I would have went internal throttle but I haven't had much success with those in...

Yeah, sorry guys, the tip is not finished. I need something that would limit the amount of moisture that could accumulate in the pipe. That is why I will probably go with the slant tip. I was going to do a diesel truck flapper valve, but I just saw it on one of Paul jr.'s bikes and have since...

So I just got my exhaust done this morning, and if I do say so myself, it is awesome.... I am torn on which look I want to go with, Chrome, Gold plated with black heat wrap, or black with natural heat wrap. Give me some suggestions.

Just a quick update: Lowbrow window bars 7/8" ordered Tail light ordered Translucent green fuel line ordered New throttle ordered Sparkle green grips ordered. I will be welding the brat kit probably Thursday at the latest, my tank will be getting coated this week as well. I am however...

Welcome!! I am also from the STL, Ballwin area

So, my tank came in today!!! It is badthefuckass. I just have it sitting on the backbone for now just so I could take some pictures. Still have to get it coated, do the body work, and get paint on it. I was thinking a really dark green (almost black) with lighter green tiny flake, then 4-5...

UPS says that the tank should be at my house by the end of the day tomorrow (Wednesday). It is the axed style, high mount from lowbrow customs, http://www.lowbrowcustoms.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=888. I am going to do a mega flake candy green, with some 70's style graphics, I don't know...

The kit is very good quality. I have to redo where the kit mounts to the backbone though, I was in a rush last night and may have cut a little uneven...

So, I have decided to build another bike, completely opposite of my last build. I am going with a 70's style brat build. I have purchased the brat kit from visual impact, an axed 2.2 gallon tank from lowbrow customs, narrow window bars, and a bunch of other stuff. I will be ordering...
