So I found a Dyno Deuce on Craigslist that some tweeker had. It had something done to it so that the handle bars were bent and the kickstand was bent off to such an angle it was useless. Sounded like a good canidate for my second 26" lowrider. This is what I was biulding when I saw the "Anything Goes" build-off was on. So, the Knuckleduster sidetracked me, which, in turn, got sidetracked by another bike. As soon as we get a reprieve from the hail and rain again, I'll post pics of that. And, so, the mockup;
I found that (not suprisingly) Kustom Kruisers are pretty much the same as the old Dynos. So, after some dealing with a very nice ath a chain bike dealer, I got a tank from one said Kustom Kruiser. Other than the color, nice fit.
The bike got some "Retro Red' and alot of clear. I hid the switch and the battery for the rear light and the cable routing for the Nexus 3 roller rear in the tank. The headlight was an old dyno light from somewhere. I made my lock-on Lizard Skins grips accomodate the grip shifter, by cutting and epoxy. I din't know you can by them like that. Oh well. The front brake is a Hayes MX1 and a Magura disc. Kinda nutty at high speed stops. It kinda jerks the fork (steering) up and to the side. Whatever.
The graphics on the tank are only vinyl. As soon as I figure out exactly what I want, I'll paint them in.
