Hard on Build

[jdizon]

James with the detroit bros just texted me pictures of my tank. I really dig that eye ball gas cap! He threw in all the fab work (Filler neck/gas cap, petcock bung relocation and all new tabs and rubber mounting kit). Awesome dude and company to deal with. Much respect! It's not often I get this level of customer service anymore.

Looks sofa king awesome.

Haha thanks Jim! Can't wait to make progress on this bike. Re thinking the front end a little.. Rebuild the forks or look for a girder or springer.. That is the question

Looks sofa king awesome.

Any of them would be cool j. I like the stock forks cleaned up. Especially with the covers. Those are pretty bad ass. Wasn't into the springers until Spades' thug life build. Personally, i think stock with covers for yours

 

[jdizon]

LOL Me too! It wasn't after seeing Spade's build that I even considered a springer. I actually have fork covers on the way and they're probably sitting on my porch by now. I'm actually beginning to think this build is looking too much like my other one? but a hard tailed version

If I do use fork covers I definitely want to run a nacelle headlight cover to match.

Either that or a vrod head light like this.

Mockups. Got my fork covers

 

[h3llb3nt1]

Definitely go with the vintage style light

 

[imwastefull]

where are the fork covers from? they look fucking killer

 

[jdizon]

Yeah don't think I will run a fairing on this one.

Fork covers are Vintage Customs

 

[JP50515]

I like the fairing

Head light is way too sweet to hide behind the fairing!

Nice thing about 2 builds, whatever you don't do on 1, you'll get to see how it turns out on the other!

 

[jdizon]

Exactly man! Honestly I've got enough extra parts to build a 3rd roller. Maybe I can source another engine next year. I think my 2 xs and my Ironhead is enough to keep me busy lol

I cant wait to see this come together. The use of new and vintage is really going to pop. Hurry up J

 

[jdizon]

Man.. I can't wait either.. sourcing parts is taking forever I know the headlight I want to run. A vintage 1967-1968 Nacelle headlight cover like this. If anyone sees one for sale anywhere hit me up!

[h3llb3nt1]

Thats pretty cool. Still like the other one better. That vintage one is slick as hell

 

[jdizon]

Found that exact Nacelle headlight cover. I am So stoked!

 

[jdizon]

Revised blue print. This is how it's going to look the rapido tank and nacelle headlight will look. Also digging this seat.

Nice craftsmanship on the tank!
I like the vintage headlight, I think the flairing suits the brat bobber better.
Just something about hardtails giving me more nostalgic feel thats all.
Your sketches rock! Wish I could do that.

 

[jdizon]

Thanks Lester! Once I get the hardtail actually on I'll get to mock up other lights I have. Definitely not using that new style fairing tho, That stays on the brat
