Rootbeer and Brass

[chopper_mrns]

Hey gents,

I just finished this for a friend of mine who was deployed to afganistan. It's my first full frame up build, everything made in my garage. I also painted the tank, fender and oil tank in a make shift paint booth. It turned out much better than I thought, I'm very happy with the results.
Forums like this helped me with all my tech quetions, thanks!

I really like those pipes. Great idea. Where did you get the lil keg?

 

[chopper_mrns]

thanks, they sound great too..
I bought the keg from a swap meet near my house in So Cal... It houses all of the wiring and battery.

Do you have any build pics of the exhaust in particular but overall the whole bike. I am looking for about a 2 gallon keg. Hollar at me if you run into something locally.

Where are you located?

 

[chopper_mrns]

you can go to my facebook page to see the start to finish pics.

I see the keg tanks all the time, the steel unfinished are 125 and welded up with bungs are 225 (i think) I won't be going back to that swap unit next month...
