BROKEN, BEAT AND SCARRED.... "SPEED KING" ***TEASER SHOT 8/1

[stretch]

hey icy, do you mean resent that remark?

[SimpleMan]

Well......no more excuses. My tires are here and I have all the parts now to complete this build. Won't have much time before the weekend to work on it but I do hope to have the rims trued, hubs serviced and the tires mounted so I can roll on toward assembly

Picked up a couple of cool accessories for it. This glass lensed Delta light grabbed my heart when I saw it this weekend at an auction. I knew it was the one the build needed Also picked up a cool 50's era minature brass fire extinguisher.....and it really works! I pictured it with a grip for scale to show how small it is.

DIGGING the uni-spring...I want one where did you get one like that?

It's off of a Monark......some of them had one spring instead of two.

[SimpleMan]

In case you forgot where the inspiration came for this build I wanna be just like James when I grow up

This... is... perfect..! Everything about it is just right, it has such an awesome flow and stance! The springer retro fit is very clever...

Hi Jeff! I'm a sucker for the glass lensed lights. The larger bullet light on my build has a glass lense but your's is fancier. Great double score with the light and fire extinguisher. Did they use those extinguishers on Repack Mountain?

ok i did some thinking and sorry to yall else i wanna see this bike done. what the heck is going on here? i have a side bet going ya know

[Lonewolf]

Holy crap. I'm in love.

This dude gets it.

I didn't read the whole thread, just looked at pictures, but I hope you aren't gonna paint it.

[SimpleMan]

No paint.....and it should be done! Thanks guys! I worked on it about 4 hours Tuesday night and it still needs about 4-5 hours (maybe 8 or 9)of work to get it done. I'm so picky that waiting till the last minute forces me to make a decision on a few things.

How long do I have? Is it Sunday or Monday night?

[Road Master]

Hi Jeff! I reread the rules today and it states we have till Midnight August 2nd to post finished pics. Git er done!

[SimpleMan]

WELL................ I have about an hours worth of small detail work (like those white spots on the tires), which I'll finish on my lunch break tomorrow. This is basically it

.......cause what don't kill you, make you more strong! Speed King......broken, beat and scarred

[texasbigjon]
