THANK YOU!! I was beginning to think I missed what I was getting at.... work last night lasted bout 15 min. so I got some sleep and I am hard at work on the headlight mount (between mai tai's ) also I am leaning toward my first tank job, although i'll prolly make it and not run it like half the other junk....

[scrumblero]

crappy old 5 1/4" external encloser and ...



viola!!



glad its a rat build cause I don't feel like doin body work

[kingfish254]

Always nice to see someone make something useful out of crap!
It takes great imagination to look at a very old 5.25 floppy drive enclosure and think, "oh yeah, headlight brackets"!!!!
Bravo on your redneck (and geeky) engineering!

[scrumblero]

Thanks kingFish!!

got the headlight figured out and took a chance reamed the stems out for the 1" bars, we'll see how I like riding em..

now I just need to find a rear fender....

[kingfish254]

I figured you were going to tell us how you planned to turn that folding chair behind your bike into a porteuer rack.

edit: Actually the seat from an old folding chair might make a god front rack. I'll have to stash that idea away.

How did I miss this build Very cool bike, I like the rake, handlebars look SWEET

[scrumblero]

How did I miss this build

with 191 entries I have been sayin that every couple days.. I know I still haven't seen em all..

thanks for the kind words!!! I was worried about having to change the necks for em, but I like it now..

Hey Scrumblero,

The bars, headlight, and forks matching looks really good.
It adds a new dimension.

Maybe some simple white accents (pulled from the chain guard) might look nice on the headlight brackets.

Good Luck!

[scrumblero]

only a week left ! so I got on it early this morning!!

new grips to start , 1" bars so I had to get em at the chopper shop...



1manta set me up with some sweet fenders!!



the front end still looked pretty heavy , so I figured I'd try and balance it out, with some skirts.

I finally got wise and traded in my Wiss aviation snips for something more palatable to my old arthritic hands..



SKIRTS!!



old riser bars = new fender supports!!



gotta run my kid to tennis lessons and then I'm back at it in teh sweltering heat!!

[kingfish254]

Nice sneak peek at those fender supports. I am looking forward to seeing your vision on them.
Cool!

[scrumblero]

well. don't get too exited, I melted the other half of the handle bar, so I may have to improvise...

[scrumblero]

found a tail light lens this morning at the swap. gotta make a housing for it..



HOT!!



I figured I'd start wide on the skirts,, whadaya think? too wide??

[Kuttnhack]

I'm really liking the transformation.

The skirts? Way too short, I'm seeing the flow line for the skirts at the chain stay and a full fender ending below that line with a flaired out ducktail like a old Indian motorcycle. Otherwise, if time is an issue bob that fender short for the back and use the leftover for the front.

Remember, It's just one mans opinion and you did ask.

Nice work and keep it up. I predict you will finish with honors.

This is one time I am going to disgree with KutNHack; keep the fenders exactly the way you have them. This ride has the makings for placing. Dig the transformation.
