I took an old MTB a few years ago cut it and added a couple inches just for fun and added a power boost! People think it really does something ? :lol:

That is awesome! You guys never cease to amaze me.
It doesn't matter what I paid for it, it matters what it's WORTH. I never buy anything I will regret KEEPING.

from my build off bike 8" 2 barrel air cleaner covers as number plates
of course that was before i had seen paint can lids for the same purpose (we need to see some of those listed here)
Side Note: some of the larger 4 barrel air cleaner covers could be used for 20" bikes as moon style wheel covers

I must say, I LOVE this thread. I don't have anything on any of my bikes that would qualify them worthy of this peticular thread but man...the ingenuity of the builds shown are incredible. You guys are a inspiration. 8) 8) 8) 8)
I love my bikes. All 19 of them.
