Iron 883: Eames Edition
As a design student I decided to look towards a timeless lounge for inspiration. Since there seems to be a surplus of Short Shots, skulls, and high bars I figured that this notion would lead to something a little tastefully fresh. Here's the Iron 883: Eames Edition

Classic yet modern. Understated yet aggressive. |
looks as comfortable as the chair, ok Im kidding. Its looking mean. If it were mine I would try to get the tank lower to cover up the frame and hug the engine some more. Your doing a fine job.

I think bobbing that rear fender would set the bike off! Looks goof regardless.

I plan on chopping the rear fender enough to where it doesn't extend much beyond the rails. The tank will probably stay as-is due to not finding a replacement that I like enough to replace the peanut with. I do agree that one sitting closer to the rocker boxes would look better though.

Great job! It's nice to see one that stands out from the herd.
|
That looks pretty tough but you should wrap the pipes or go black. They stick out too much. And for my taste the wood grain doesnt look that good on that nice ride
|
I think it looks awesome. Nice job!
|
I like it.....first time I've ever seen an office chair influence the design of a bike.
|
Can you do the fuel cap in the wood grain finish too?
