Bonnie Killer! One of my favorite bikes. One of the inspirations and probably biggest influence in my build. I've been in contact with the builder of that bike and we've discussing my build and might have him paint my Tins. Cool dude and his paint jobs and bikes are amazing!

 

[jdizon]

This one was another one that was inspirational.

Thinking about these strut/springs for the rear for a less bulky look. They are probably as stiff or even more than the burly's. Anyone ride a bike with these?

Cool! Let me know if it works with it on?

Johann,

Joe got back to me and he reckons his bracing fouls the passenger peg mounts but I don't see how. If the bracing is no wider than the swinger it shouldn't touch. I'm going to weld up my own bracing and see what the deal is. I'll post up some pictures when I get round to it if you like.

Cheers,
Alex

You'll need to grind down the eyes from 1-1/4" to 3/4 to work with the xs.

Who makes these?

 

[jdizon]

if I did go back to the peanut.. I'd go with the following color scheme.

silver frame, polished top tree, polished tank and fender.

Black out the front end with fairing and fork covers, clip ons and black exhaust pipes.

If this tank. I'd paint frame black along everything else. Tank would be black/yellow/white along the edges along with rear fender to match.

K-k-k-k-k-kick Ass!
I like the HD tank

 

[Johnt3]

Decisions, decisions. Either way you go the bike will look damn good jdizon.

 

[I am Carbon]

Both will look good.

You have a tough decision to make! Just build both!

 

[jdizon]

Just going to flip a coin on this one and be done with it lol. Either that or figure out how to make mounts to interchange between the 2.

 

[bowser]

[jdizon]

Just make where you can change the tanks to what ever mood your in that day... That way you can select the tank that best matches your attire for the day... Kinda like women do with purses.....

 

[jdizon]

Hahah exactly ;p

Damn hd tank is going to need some work. Ordered a new filler neck, cap and new npt style bungs and some por 15 to coat the guts!
