Soooo, been checking these bikes out for years and was just about to pick one up late 2009, but I was commissioned to restomod a car for some coworkers (which is still going on) but that project is coming to an end and I want a bike.
Never built a bike, know nothing about bikes except how to drive em, but what the hell.
I have a 1985 Suburban with 2 1/2 Ton axles, converted to 4wd, dual transfer cases which also has a fiberglass Blazer top grafted tot he bck, so it's now a topless Suburban; oh yeah it's a 454 and will have 54" ties on it when done. It will be olive drab green or satin black.
My DD is a Cadillac CTSV ALL black inside and out.
The OTHER project is a fairly customized 84 Dodge Rampage. All white.
Yeah, I know an affinity for the weird.
I live in the Houston area.
Anyways, I really want to build a very simple bike. Kick start, no battery, hardtail, lowered with a DROP seat; nothing special but clean and simple.
From here, I need to find a bike that runs good, but can be a basket case otherwise.
I don't see much down here, but I can wait.
Until then, I am going to start using the search tool, just like it was meant to be used and start reading......banshee conversion and pamcote ignition look to be my first upgrades then probably a 6" stretch and 4" dropped frame the next. Then on to lowering the forks and replacing the bars with a drag type setup.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
