RRBBO13 Roll-change

[Brian macumber]

Used another part from the satellite dish to make a connection between the seat stay and the rear rack

then wanted to see how everything was looking so I did a quick Mock up

Not sure if I am going to stay with the stock tank or figure out something else

 

[Donniebikes55]

Nice conversion, I've done a few myself. Keep it up, make it your own!

 

[Brian macumber]

Didn't like the way the stock tank looked just looked to small. Found a piece of metal that they use on tile roof ridges. Thought it was a good size to make a tank out of forgot to get pick before I cut it out just got to excited to get started.

Remembered I had what I guess might be a air cleaner cap nut thingy thought gas cap

Now to get ready for paint

 

[Donniebikes55]

I dig your new tank design, keep working that, and remember,NO ONE ELSE HAS ONE LIKE IT, it's all yours

 

[Brian macumber]

Found a couple things at the flea market yesterday

Meatier tank action

Meatier tank action

Might have went a little to big but the other was too small to me. It looked ok when it was a step thru but not as a boys.

 

[Brian macumber]

Got some time over the weekend to get some sanding done then got most of the parts primed yesterday.

Looks good hanging out on the drying rack...

 

[Brian macumber]

Been able to get some color on the frame and some other parts been raining almost every day around the time I get off work

Taking a week of my vacation this week so hopefully weather will cooperate

 

[sdframe]

Rain . . . what's that?

 

[Brian macumber]

Rain . . . what's that?

Some liquid precipitation falling from the sky
Pretty dry where you are I guess

 

[sdframe]

So. Dang. Dry.

 

[Indyjps]

Solid build here, gender swap and using parts from all kinds of unlikely sources. Fun stuff, lets see more....

 

[Brian macumber]

Decided to change the wood I was going to use for my rack when I saw the cabinet guy was throwing away this spacer.

Cut it to size and wrapped the edge with a piece of 3/4 wide by 1/16 thick aluminum

 

[sdframe]

Looks great.

 

[The Renaissance Man]

Nice job on the wood/aluminum rack.

 

[Brian macumber]

Got some paint on the fenders and playing around with some pinstripe. Not sure if I am just going to do just the stripes down the fender or put some on the skirt too.

 

[kingfish254]

I think just having the stripes on the fender will look better.
