Ok here it is I finally had a chance to finish it off. I added the chain and a mini rear fender that I flipped upside down. I took it out for a spin and she handles great, hugs the road. It is a good thing I am not that tall, or it would be difficult to ride.

Beautiful, But i got 1 question, I got whitewalls that i have a heckuva time keeping clean and cleaning. What do u do when the whole tire gets dirty what do u use?
 
They have that tire bleach for cleaning white walls on cars, that seems to work really well. Other then that I am not sure. I figure if I just ride it real fast people can't see the dirty tires. (haha)
 
That bike is pure eyecandy!

I've got a bike I'm going to do the Indian red/white tire scheme on this winter. I absolutly love the board tracker look but I'm a big guy and i don't think I could ride one, I think I'll go for a bobber look on mine.
 
Awesome!! I just have one question. What's the deal with the upsidown handlebars? It seems allot of people are doing that these days, but it looks so uncomfortable. I'm not a big fan of sacrificing comfort for looks I guess. Still, an amazing looking bike!

The upsidedown bars are to give the bike a low slung board tracker look.

In the case of the bars he used, they are actually made to be mounted that way.

I don't mind if you take some ideas, I find it to be a compliment. But that why this site is here to give us all inspiration and a ideas. I can't wait to see your fire bike.
 
You can get the white tires at bikeworldusa.com Deb has a few sets left. Kenda the maker of that white tire I used, has stopped production on them.
