mounted my coils under the seat... not really sure if i like it or if ill have any problems with it? i dont know. and im not too sure what i should do for a battery box? im thinking ill build something out of brass sheet.
I dig the light mount. But it's gunna shake like a leaf on a tree. The best way to solve it is with a pencil and paper draw up some ideas then pick one and go with it! Innovation will push the industry that's the way it's always been. No one likes change at first. FTF
i got the exhaust mocket up and welded, its nothing fancy like the other stuff i seen on this site but its what i think suits the frame and makes the bike look a little lower.. and i fixed up the rear frame and cut those fugly plates i welded on. i really dont know what the fuck i was thinking...
Thanks. And I know they angled axle plates look kinda goofy. When I first scetched up the frame I had them angled up but Im not done back there. And I know as the I adjust the chain it will stlighly change the ride. But I'm gunna finish it back there and if it still looks dumb I'll cut it off...
Bopit! You should have seen it in person. Like back yard built doesn't even come close. The guy told me he was going for a " rat-rod" look. And he told me everything was blueprinted... Hahaha I would of argued but it's pointless arguing with idiots
yeah the old seat is mint.. i found these foot pedals off some old farm implement from the turn of the century thought theyd be cool. i cut off the boot straps and sand blasted them.. there made of some kinda cast iron or pig iron so i didnt want to try and weld to them. i got the brake...
hey guys new to the for not new to fab work heres a few pictures of the build so far i started with something that sombody already tried to ddo some OCC on this thing
