>>>Eliminator 20" Muscle: Final finished picture here, p. 62

[Peatbog]

Thanks, but I might be changing the front fender paint again...*

Anyway, here is the current state of affairs:



The rear fender is not finished. It will have some Rustoleum black laid upon on it yet.



Now and then:

NOW that bike has style.Got me thinking about picking one up if the right deal comes along.What were they thinking with that color/graphic design? Your paint job looks great.

[kingfish254]

There has been something missing from your build and I haven't been able to figure it out.

I know what it is now. You are missing the skills of your A-1 Illustrator!!!!!

Somehow I've missed this thread since like page 5.... I'm floored by how much I like this yellow bike.

[yoothgeye]

So what bars will you be using? And once again... can I ride it?

Okay? Hey!

Wow! Nice Transformation!

Thanks. I was scared there for a minute.

Thanks. I wouldn't mind having another one of these also. I have a trike rear-end I have plans for...someday...

You are missing the skills of your A-1 Illustrator!!!!!

I forgot about that! I went with a picture of a bunny instead...man, what was I thinking!?

Thanks. I was a bit wary about using yellow to start with. Even now I have found a little yellow goes a long way!

I'm going to use the Bratz bars. I thought about using lower bars like a drag race motorcycle but then figured that would take away some of the muscle bike look. That and I am too cheap to buy other bars when I have some I can use. I rode the Bratz bike around before I took it apart and the bars actually have a pretty comfortable shape to them. Every once in awhile I have to remind myself that some of the "fashion" ideas I have would take away from the function of the bike. So far, along with the nixed drag bars idea, I have dumped the red headlight idea because I think a useful headlight would be better. I also had an evil scheme to build some "ladder bars" for the bike. But I don't know why I'd what to do that really. I thought about putting on a red tinted windshield also, but now I probably won't. Of course I don't really need wheelie bars or a drag chute either, so there goes my function only argument...so I might still do any or all of that other stuff...anyway, moving on...

I'll trade you a ride on this bike for a spin in the sidecar (even if I have to sit on top).

It's a deal, and FYI, your ladder bars can be functional.

You just made stock on this bike go up! Sweet paint job and stance. Hmmm need a speedo?!? Lol Get ta finishin'!! Peace

[tin machine]

paint looks great , completly changes the bike !!!!

[Peatbog]

Okay, yoothgeye, but who's bringing the bunny?

Jake, ha! But really, it was your bike that inspired me to get a speedometer. I was debating the idea, and when I saw your two speedometers, I thought they looked pretty cool, so I figured I needed one too! Especially since I have a drag muscle bike going on (that is drag racing to you, yooothgeye). I bought one from http://www.bikeworldusa.com/product_info.php/products_id/2883 for under $20. This place has a lot of nifty stuff that many bike places do not.



Thanks, tin machine. I had to do something with paint as there isn't a lot of fabrication going on here!

Front fender needs cleared and a mount made and it is ready to do on. I should have put a dart on it instead of a stripe I think to match the rest of the bike, but it's too late, I'm not doing it again.

"Peatbog," you might say, "It looks like what you have there is a military surplus parachute originally intended to slow the descent of airborne flares, whilst off in the lower right hand corner is a seven-year-old wearing various colored socks."

"Yep," I would answer.



My middle name just might be Jake. All I need to do is find that shifter I want to use as a chute release.

[kingfish254]

I assumed that the person in the multicolor socks had just landed via the parachute. Must be part of her camoflauge.

Peatbog.thanks for the link on the speedo,that's a good price....
