This bike just keeps getting cooler. B a double d bad. I hope you don't stop. Great video the opening line should say "watch this", looks like a dangerous beast snaking down the alley, you should hang some brass sphere's from the sissy

You're getting a really cool look going. Guard and chain ring are awesome!

Some metallic rattle cans will do the trick for you. I thought Drab Four was a play on drag fork. Love the shaggy sparkly van theme.

Drab Four is what some people called Type O Negative, it's a Beatles spin.

@Muttley had a cool idea about the styling, and I like it.

Love the way the seat looks now! Did you add some curve?
Chain guard is perfect too...

Thanks.
Yea, the seat has a style that just happened.
When I cut the banana pan, I mounted the front to the seat post and back to the sissy.
Then I bent a piece of metal S shaped to make the king/queen, the sides have a contour that was unintentional. But it turned out well.

Looks like another busted, unfinished build in the pile.

I'm not sure what broke on you there. one of those brackets you had designed and laser cut? must be too much * torque on the fork*. (There's a song in that phrase somewhere.)

Never try to ride a wheelie on a bike with a 12 pound drag fork.

I have the option of using the fork from a 16" occ stingray, or just say to heII with the whole thing.
Either way, it'll look nothing like I planned.

Danger bro doing danger things.... Well glad ur not beat up or beat yet....
Letting a build dictate it's answer is never a bad thing...
The whole back half took on a new life and already changed the plan....
And it's super bad A.....
keep pushing.

Apparently, when I welded the fork tubes to the lower tree they weren't perfect square.
It didn't take much to bend the lower tree. I'll measure the tubes on the occ, if they're the same diameter I'll be able to keep the drag look. If not, I'll just have to I.A.O.

Everything appears to be where it should be. I don't know how strong this will be, but I'll throw in some just to be safe re-enforcement.

Don't hold your breath tho, this thing might get me some medical bills yet.
