After some morning storms me and the nephew hit the roads today. Was a great afternoon for a ride. All said and done he says we did about 100 miles. Had a blast, sure didn't seem like we went that far. Was a great run to find any problems and knock on wood, nothing went wrong. Other than a pesky leak from the gas cap if I fill up to much. I'm so happy with this build. Here's a couple pics from our adventure.

Crazy looking bike - impressive work!. Still cannot get over how loud that thing must be without a tailpipe..... I think you might find it will make a bit more power if you extended it back further with a turn out at the very least, and it'll be less deafening. Those collectors are about 2.25" IIRC, so you could probably just throw on a chrome turn-down tip from the auto parts store and it'd work.

Also any plans to add a rear fender or do you like having a skunk stripe on your back, and rocks flick into the back of you noggin'? LOL :lol:

Are you going to try and source a front whitewall or could you paint one on yourself?

the seat works pretty well.i like the whole bike overall.
kinda crazy but cool.

what purpose does the bandanna serve?

Thanks guys. The front tire will be replaced but it's not wore out yet. No plans for a back fender, Yet! Rocks have not been a problem yet, just water sucks. Which leads to the other question. The bandana keeps water and such from hitting you in the face.

i see,i had seen guys with no front fenders run tape and bandannas but didn't know why.

i have a lil chop that i have ridden without a rear fender on,
and did get a piece of gravel(i suppose) thrown into my back.
whew,i thought i had been shot with a pellet gun .

just received a ribbed duck bill aluminum stingray fender from lowbrow today to insure that wont be happening again :whistle: .

leon

That was my choice also if I end up getting one

you nailed the cool factor with your build.

like ridin a bmx bike with a 1000cc engine ,...

leon

Thanks Leon. That's what I was going for. Lol
