thanks for all the props guys! i'll keep choppin and learnin and makin cool **** my way learnin some stuff the hard way and some stuff my way
got'r runnin!!!!!!!! i'm so happy with this bike! best lookin version i done as of yet. i made many of the parts myself, designs myslef and vison is mine
it was suggested by a bud of mine (evodog) to take a razor balde and be really careful but cut the clear off half the filler hole so it doesn't start to bubble...so tonight i did that and put some clear fingernail polish around it...i looked at the clearence of the cap and it looks good..time will tell.
also i gotta do somethin with my tialight, the lens broke (AGAIN!) gonna go to autozone tomorrow and get a plastic trailer lens and "tweak" it to make it fit my taillight. also i have a short somewhere, got 5 miles down the road in the pitch black tonight and realized i had no tail light or brake like :eeeek tore into the most likely of suspects tonight and tomorrow i'll run and get some more fuses and see if it worked
this is what the garaged has looked like sinse i started building...i get really focused and let my garage go to ****
this is brian (well some of him haha) ...he always wants to kill me when the garage gos to **** so he helps me clean it up and today he made me walk up and down the block with my paint stand as pentence...haha
this is what it looked like after he got done wit the garage
ON TO THE GOOD STUFF!!! bike is a beauty and i'm toatlay stoked!!!
got some small vids....OK OK i'll just blow my own spot up before i get called out...i forgot to film original start up so we faked it and there ya go...it fired up faster than i could get my finger of the starter button...HAHAHA i'm a tool
