Pics from a bike builder

Yeah, a few rattle cans of flat black will put all these Frankensteined pieces together.

lol - ya think!

bedliner is the solution...methinks

[Spider]

I actually have a can of that at home I was gonna paint my bike with. LOL Kinda permanent though so I changed my mind. My bike has had 3 different themes since I got her.

[steveb]

Yeah I have to say that i was totally impressed when I saw that seat the first time. Now, I'm totally diggin it. The bike looks bad ass. Those Apes might be a bit extreme but I like the look. I have 16"'s with 2" risers on mine but I don't have the rake like he does. Nor the lift of the front end. I have to say that I will never go back to regular bars if I don't have to.

hmmm - i like what you did with your bike, and really like the antiquing on the sidecovers and aircleaner - cool

the copper lower legs look good too and how the hell can you not love heat wrap on upswept fishtails!!

i dunno about the lack of front fender tho, i do too much foul weather riding to be able to deal with that for long..ha

nice!!...here is my baby after a week long trip along the east Coast seaboard and more!

man that is one ugly bike IMSHO, looks pieced together from a confused box of parts

the modern fork is old style Indian, leading link springer

the gimp bars dont match the 21" hoop, actually the bars match nothing on the bike

the pipes have brit trumpet cones on shotgun drag headers

crime scene chopper oil bag, that doesn't match anything

deep tunneled sporty tank, modern spun headlight

close wrap rear fender and a chrome and black evo engine wrapped in whitewall donuts

yikes

oh yeah - check out the mounting of the oil bag - he is shorting himself a quart of

oil when he fills it - he should have made angle mounting

blocks to get the oil bag horizontal so he could have gotten the full 4 qts in there...

smoking seat tho!!

Well, when you're 19 and building your first bike....I'm sure he'll find a lot of thing he'll do differently on his next one.

A 19yr old? eh?

I tip my hat to him...just coming up with the scratch and the idea at that age deserves major props.

good to know young folks are into it

Some months back, I built a seat for a fellow who was making his first bike. I received these pics today of his ride in mock up form....It has now been torn down and sent for paint, powdercoat and chrome. It is a unique ride ....

I always appreciate hearing from customers as their bike progresses

David, I'm thinking of making a set for my bike (as I look at all of the good looking seats). What type of leather would I use and what type of finish would I use? From anyone...................................THANKS:begging:

[Big Steve]

Nice one David, good to see it on a bike, and thanks for your help,

Regards, Steve.
