holy bejeezus bat man.. NO LIGHTS !!
**Im still looking at air flow over the engine.

Also looking at all the good shit lying around. Truck engine? couple chops down the back under tarps ...drawing of mad max...posters.
You might aswell set up camera in real time ,pay per view ...

[super rat]

hah! yeah i got alot of projects goin at all times. i'll put a light on it somewhwere. most of the fairing is gonna get cut up with openings for airflow. i just try n keep it rigid as long as i can, make mounts and stuff. cuz as soon as you start cutting openings into it, it starts changing shape in a big hurry!

[dukerollo]

I dig all the fab work. Where are you going to hide the oil tank? Someplace up in the fairing?

[Throwback]

Its good to be diffrent. It will be one of a kind for sure.

[DANGER]

Enjoying the build, its good to see all you work in one place, really helps see the bikes as a linear progression of style and craftsmanship, great website.

[super rat]

ok, im workin on having the oiltank and gastank wrapped around eachother. im hesitant to keep posting pics cuz you guys will think im out to lunch...but trust me, i have a plan!

[Loffer]

crazy yes , lazy NO!

wheres the wheel base heading? Looking at the line of the front curve .

There was a movie , other than mad max .."battle truck " the dude had wheel covers like speed way bikes, Jawa etc

got wheels figured ?

[super rat]

im not sure on the wheels. im building this bike with my buddy youngo, i do all the fab, then he does all the paint n stuff. id like to do some nice aluminum rims and stainless spokes, but he n i are both such cheap basterds we'll just end up arguing all day about who shud have to pay for em, and ultimatly we'll just end up painting n polishing the stock stuff. seems like almost the only thing i buy on bike builds anymore is refills on my argon bottles for my welder!
