well it seems at this point once a year i get an itch to tear my scoot down and test my abilities to fabricate and create something new that i can be proud of.
it started out with some cool bolt on stuff, then it went to some small fabricating work, well this is as far as i'm comfortable going as of yet ( i would love to go farther but sinse this is my only bike and a daily rider i hate bein down for more than 2 months...drives me nuts)
i'm really excited about this particular build, for me its gonna be a super striped down bike that tests my fabricating abilities.
the last version was sooooo dam pritty, i did love the look of that bike, but it did start to anoy me bein worried about where i can and can't ride or what i feel like i can do with it.
this bike is gonna be totaly ridable! thats the point of it. soooo watch the progress in here if ya want
ALSO! this is a budget build....my goal is 135$ total for the whole smash....i've been tallieng and i'm close
also i'll be havin questions from time to time so i'll appriceiate input on questions i have.



my trailer fender for 15$ at northern tool

little moch up, carboard cut of of what the seat will look like, trailer fender and sissy set up

choppity chop chop of the fender struts

 

is this fender going to bolt-on or welded?
just asking

 

well i'm stuggleing with that right now actually

its deffinetly gonna have the struts welded on to the fender but bolted onto the swingarm....as far as the rest of the attachments...i'm really leaning towards bolting beacuse if i weld i can't paint and thats not something i wanna skip out on...even though the paint will be minimal

 

I don't think I could make it on your budget. I found a seat I want and it costs $250 without the mounting hardware. I'll be watching your posts to see how you do it.

 

I'll be watchin' too - so far I'm impressed!

 

NOOOOO!!!! you are not tearing that bad *** bike that you just built? Man I loved that bike! Wish you could have found a doner bike to do it to, that bike was radical, a one of a kind. A celebrity on here and you built it twice due to the crash. I know you will build another great bike and it will be great, good luck and keep us posted!

 

sweet. I'm excited to see where this goes. I too will be doing a huge make over of my bike when I get my hands on her...

 

When skills and know how are stronger than money !!!!

 

Right on man...Cut it up!

Are you going to extend your frame down to your swing arm?

 

Let the sparks fly man, can't wait to see it done.
