Just "bustin" ya!....This thing has got SOOOO many details, you're gonna need 50-60 pics to do it justice. What I like best is you did everything right there in your shop (home). You showed a lot of people they can do a LOT of very COOL things with no special tools, well maybe a welder....Heck I had trouble painting flames, on my fender, never mind cutting them out. Can't wait to see it FINISHED!

Looks COOL :mrgreen:
Wake up every morning wondering what new bike I'll find!
If you don't have pics, it probably didn't happen!

Thanks, very intuitive. I guess I'm a teacher at heart sinec that's my concentration with the youth I minister to. From lack of tools I've figured out all my ways around doing things without "out sourcing" and it feels so good that I want others to know what they can do with a little. The fender was cut with a cutting disk on a 4 1/2" angle grinder and cutting disks on a dremel tool. The welder I don't feel is too out of reach for most people, it's just getting over the idea that only professionals should burn metal, I'm not a great welder, but I trust my welds and I have a grinding disk.

Thanks again, I'm glad some people have seen what I've been trying to display, the art of home brewed parts with little to no training, but alot of try.

Photo shoot in the morning. :wink:

Been riding this bike all over town, and so far I've had one part break twice... the bell! haha First fix was done with a welder, second with super glue. We'll see if it holds up. JB Weld is next.
