You younguns always sneak up on me. DoubleNickle came in Second place last year and I didn't even realize he was a teenager until after the build off.

BRAVO!!!

Re: Road-kill Rat UPDATE 6/29/12

Thanks, I have to figure out a way to mount it to the bike, not sure if I want to weld it to the frame or send some bolts through her.
Still have a couple ideas that I need to pull off.

I welded these sweet exhaust pipes onto this tank, give it that airplane look.
did all of the welding grinding and fabricating all by myself!!!

the welds will need to be smoothed out with a grinder though first 8) 8)

Re: Road-kill Rat UPDATE 7/3/12

That's why theyre mounted toward the front, more knee distance, I thought about it that way

Re: Road-kill Rat UPDATE 7/3/12

Did you ever get that pipe bomb tank mounted?

Re: Road-kill Rat UPDATE 7/3/12

No kingfish I haven't, I need ideas on how to do it

 

[kingfish254]

Re: Road-kill Rat UPDATE 7/3/12

Copper strapping wrapped around the bars and bolted to the tank.

Or JB Weld maybe.

Nice weld job, a little grinding, a little bondo, a lot of sanding, It'll look great!

Great job, Rg
