Boy that was a short contest! :shock: Thanks to all who played!

You guys had some cool ideas. Loved Hooch's Continental idea and Clothespinin's EZ Rider pipe!

I'll probably do another contest in a couple of days. The next should really make you guys think!
 
Found these little cups sticking out of the steering tube of an old donor, thought they'd look good on the ends.

Cool pic, Ricky.
Good one Oct.!

Thought I'd post a couple of pics on the handgrip situation.
I had to toss the axel and get some longer threaded rod which meant that I hand to drill out the pegs. I also decided to use the cup that usually goes on the inside of the pegs, on the outside. Found me some chrome acorn nuts to use.

So I threw a couple of regular nuts on the rod, with a spacer between the nuts, and crammed them into the handlebar part. Then I welded one of the nuts to the inside of the handlebar. I slid a washer down the shaft and welded that to the end of the bar. After a little grinding ....

Here's a new contest!
I found this laying in the garbage awhile back. First two people to tell me what I'm gonna use it for ..... Will get 4 Freak Bike Militia stickers (two of Budz design and 2 of my design) and 2 F.Y.D.O. cruise stickers! :shock: That's a total of 6 stickers for each person!
Sorry Ricky, you gotta sit this one out. :(

Here We Go! ....
