how do them bars handle? weird angle for the wrist? Did it turn off by itself, or did you tell it to quit?
the other bike looks like a bicycle. whats the plans for that?
 
bars are fine on the wrist. worked out better than i'd hoped. what'd you mean by did it turn itself off or did i tell it to? the other bike is just getting built. should be a skinny-ish build nothing to crazy for it, but should look nice when it's done, my exhaust is gonna go on that as i've got a gordon scott set coming here soon. thanks for the good words alfredo. bike fun as hell and just scary enough to keep me safe.
 
Hey Jesse, Are you going to be using that tank you made? That looks great! nice and thin and matches look of the bike perfect :thumbsup:
 
hey gordon, thanks for the thoughts. the tank will eventually get used, still need to drill the hole for the filler neck and get it finish welded up. but i'm hoping (besides the lack of mileage) the tank will work out awesome. also really excited to see the exhaust show up and put on the bike, thoughts on that are smooth all the welds out and paint her up white along with the bars.... but i'll let my better half look at it and see what she thinks would look good... she's got better eyes than i do, and a better ass :wink2:
 
what I mean is.... when I work on a bike, I dont like it when it dies on its own. I started it, I'll kill it. If It quits on its own, something's wrong.
 
oh...nothing. first fire ups/rides sometimes show wierd things since the engine is under load for the first time in a while. Good job, dude.
 
here's an update.... its' been a while as i jsut started riding her alot....

made up some new bars.... gonna take a little rolled up piece of tig wire to make a ring to hold the throttle cable, and gonna slug the left upright to receive the mirror.... other than that these things are fun as shit.
