I think I pretty much have everything I need, I'm not going to try to go too far overboard with accessories, I want the bike to stand out for it's design, not all the crap hanging off of it... oops, I'm building a side car... nevermind. :mrgreen:

Sourcing a seat as I type, told my local junk man what I was looking for after a church dinner tonight.

Good luck with the side car... WCC bike should be a fun one to work with.
For a sidecar just strap a Barcalounger to the bike... :D

Haha, it is actually a very compact bike though. I will take measurements of my 8 year old daughter's and 5 year old son's legs tomorrow (or before I start the sidecar). The 2 year old will definitely fit, I just wanna make sure they can all have a turn, but I need to keep the sidecar from overpowering the look of the chopper.

Thanks, me too, don't know why I've waited so long to build one. For a while my old Suzuki Samurai was OD, and I bought other surplus things to accessorize it with, I still have some of them. I'm most excited about how the headlight will look!!!

Found some old photos (from last year) of my headlight, it's an old surplus blackout light. Has German and French on it (I think):

I have 2 of these. They were mad for motorcycles, I wish I had kept the original directions... but I didn't speak the language. :oops:

Thank you Ralf! The light shines out under the "hood" and only lights up the ground in front of the light. If you look straight at the light you don't see any bright light, so the enemy had a harder time to see you coming.

Hey, you got that Flying Tiger art done yet? I'm waiting to see that. :mrgreen:

Hopefully, the German headlight and the Flying Tiger graphics won't get in a fight. You don't need a war going on while you are building the thing.
I tried being serious, but it was boring.

Went by my old house this morning and picked this up. I've got some ideas, but first I gotta hit that little button on the bottom and see what happens. This thing is heavy!

Yeah, there might be some contraversies, but this will be an ally project in the end.
