General Ray Lee

[Smoopy's]

hello all, well, I decided to include my current build in build-off since to be honest; it's all I'm working on for myself right now.
The premise for building this bike is clear..I want a bike to mimic the General Lee from "the Dukes of Hazzard". I've seen this attempted many times before and to be honest, they just seem to be lacking the key elements that made that ole' Charger shine and the elements that made you tune in every week to watch. I''m going to incorporate those elements into my build and hope it turns out like I planned..stay tuned

I started with a basic 1979 Sting-Ray frame(as I do a lot for my Theme Bike builds) stripped & primed and ready for the Hugger Orange paint


Got is set in Hugger Orange with a couple coats of clear(sorry I did not get any pics before I assembled the frame)


Had this Crankset lying around, thought it would fit the part


A little trim black on the headbadge


the frame is starting to look about right

Work continues..I had these super fly ape hangar bars. they are a little taller and wider than most and black in color


that looks about right and I will need the wide set bars for a later addition


if your gonna jump you better grip so these Wellago beartraps will do


looks good

OK, here's what I need the wide set bars for. I plan to mount this Cobra CB between the handlebars. It seems the Telephone was the second form of communication in Hazzard Co... I plan on gutting it out and cutting it down to about half the size so it won't be as bulky as it is now



Here's the plan:

I'm likin' this, used to love that show. Empty CB would also made a good lite panel/battery holder.

Here's the plan:

i would just keep it in working order and have it functional that will be diffrent !

Looking good so far and I think you'll manage to get to your objective easily. Any plans on jumping it?

it certainly would be; but I would have to carry some sort of power supply and I really have no place to put it. I think it will look pretty cool once it all comes together and who knows..it might be jumping off a cliff or over a hay bale pretty soon...
