Re: ☆★☆Ꭼsє LᎾ₡Ꮎ JᎾKᎬЯ!☆★☆ RRBO#8.

I love the flow of the high backbone. SLEEK!! :wink:
 
Re: ☆★☆Ꭼsє LᎾ₡Ꮎ JᎾKᎬЯ!☆★☆ RRBO#8.

So with staying with my father in law (no room to work) and the following trip from here up to Darwin 2700km, probably wont be getting much work done for the next week...

Means I am going to have to get moving on the bike once we get up there, lots to do and running out of time to do it... :shock:

Luke.

Thanks for posting that one Funk!
Might be an idea for the next build! I see the resemblance to the current build, close enough to still fit my style! :wink:

Re: ☆★☆Ꭼsє LᎾ₡Ꮎ JᎾKᎬЯ!☆★☆ RRBO#8.

Went to a car show and swap meet today, picked up some nice bits that might find their way on to this bike or future ones...

Two handlebar risers and a nice headlight...

Your frame is much more interesting,this looks bulky :wink:
 
Re: ☆★☆Ꭼsє LᎾ₡Ꮎ JᎾKᎬЯ!☆★☆ RRBO#8.

I agree! Yours is much cooler Luke 8)
 
Re: ☆★☆Ꭼsє LᎾ₡Ꮎ JᎾKᎬЯ!☆★☆ RRBO#8.

Thanks everyone! Glad you are all liking the bike so much!

In regard to the Dominator bike looking bulky, I think it just needs bigger wheels and tires to offset it! :wink: :mrgreen:

That new light and one of the risers will probably make their way on the this bike, the other headlight(s) I had in mind are these ones I posted right back at the start...

The original idea was to put one each side down low on the forks, but I am thinking now with the way it is coming together that it would be too bulky looking, so I was thinking of moving them up where I drew them in this mock up:

Still had not decided if I would be fitting one or both with that idea, but I agree with you guys, the new light will probably look awesome on the build! Will have to make a choice once I have a rolling chassis... Pretty sure one of the bar risers will find it's way on though, that is one bit I tend to not like building and half the time they don't look nicely finished when done, always look a bit like a hack job...

Re: ☆★☆Ꭼsє LᎾ₡Ꮎ JᎾKᎬЯ!☆★☆ RRBO#8.

If you decide to use the 2 big ones in front , you could always use the new one on the handle bars like a police spotlight on a pivoting suport with a handle ... could be cool :wink:
