Is the sidecar going to be a steel frame with a canvas body or all steel?
I tried being serious, but it was boring.

All steel or else you won't see the actual bullet holes.

Bullet holes!? Well, I know where one of my votes is going.*


*Probably shouldn't use your big bullet though.

Can I come help you shoot it up or would that violate the all work must be done by the builder rule?

Looks great so far

I went back and looked at it again, same impression. What about inside the diamond? It's the proximity to the seat that doesn't help.

Big bullet (unfortunately) is decommissioned. I'm leaning towards 40 cal.

I think it would be allowable as shooting holes is not really "building."

It will not be on the frame unless I get a new vision for it, I'm still thinking outboard sidecar.

I gave $20 for one (the one I'm building) and $15 for the "parts bike" which was more complete than the other, but also has more rust and I noticed the triple trees are bent, I think he tried to make it a quad tree...

Nope, you're wrong, I'm having 2 sidecars, one on either side. One will hold my helmet, the other my wrist, elbow, shin, and knee pads. :mrgreen:

Great for trail riding. Then you could paint little moms with strollers being crossed out on the side of the tank. :D
