#162
I have been waitin since the beginning of this thread to see what the final result would look like. I Have to say it was well worth the wait. Bike turned out badazz and looks great. Wasn't sure about the handlebars in the beginning but now that I see the whole thing together I like it. Good Job!

i must say...i don't envy you northern boys i do love me some winter t shirt riddin
thanks guys for all the kind words and suggestions, trust me when i say this isn't over still changes comin but i'm just gonna ride for a little while and since this was a budget build (no i don't have the tally yet but i went over by around 80+$ i think)or at least thats what i promised my wife...no more playin... my ***** are back in the purse haha.
got to take her out again today, she is really fun to ride...one of the most fun reditions i've had yet. even thugh the bars are narrow i was able to hammer into some good twistys today, they are better than my apes because i'm no longer a human kite haha...gonna hit the highway tomorrow and have a little fun. i figured out the light issue, just traced some wires and re-covered. i was havin a hellova time findin a tailight lens that was plastic and and even worse time findin one that was cheap. since the push behind this build was to have a good workin bike that i wasn't afraid to scratch or get dirty i went to tractor and supply and got a trailer taillight/brakelight for 9 bucks..its perfect, one bulb and replacement lenses are 2 bucks a shot and plastic. i'll throw some pics up when i get some....for now...
it was suggested that i post up a evolution of my evolution (ya like that i thought it up all by myself)
