Jagu-rat

It's like the frame has cast off the parts that have held it back and has risen above in triumph.*




*Or maybe I'm a nut. It's one of the two.

xenon headlamp mount

headlamp with mount

the taillight is a portion of a rangerover L.E.D. tailight.

the taillight will double as the battery case thanks to this cracker tin i saw someone throwing out.




you can start to see my color scheme coming to life

hacked off the brake mounts a drilled a few stylish holes in the forks

I'm starting with the exact same model bike! Mine didn't have the rack or fenders on it anymore, though... interesting to see what it originally looked like. Looking forward to what you do with it!

thanks for the props. I have been pondering a different name. Its not as rat as i originally planned, but still futuristic. It has lots of jag parts and a couple ranger rover parts....

finished the headlight mount and added some green highlights.

I couldn't wait to assemble the hole unit.

cut out the chainguard and tacked it together. I had just enough of that jaguar door skin to do it.



and here are the tins i cut from the rover hood. A little more attention to them and they wil be done.

[ruddigger]
