The tank looks great and I'm real curious to see what you do with that headlight - that is definitly crusty. Have fun.

I was just scrolling down looking at bike names when I came across yours - CWC-2. Said to myself - "Self, that sounds REAL familiar". Simplicity at it's finest - nuf said.

Zach, the whole naked bike in the tub with a knife photo is a little disturbing :shock: I hope the parts work out for you. good luck!

Yikes! You moved from one state to another in the middle of a RRB Build Off? So just how far can you stretch yourself?

Re: CWC-2 updates 7/7/10

after a crazy move back to IL i finally got this thing rideable:

i plan on painting the rear fender and I need to find some suitable grips.

I loved it! I liked the front fender too. Very cool so far! If it were me I'd run the rusty light. Especially if you don't paint it... it looks cool as is. :mrgreen:

 

[fsjaak]

Unchained is right. Din't paint anything. Its Done!
