EL THUNDER, (BRAND NEW PICTURES)

[OUTLAW]

whoever re-put this here for me, THANKS



well as most of you know I stoped this build in the motor section. I need to finish this build soon so back to pedals only. this is what it looked like like when I closed that.

I cut out the motor mount and the double frame bars under it and will add a single frame bottom bar an a new top bar just under the curved one. I also shorten the frame 6". other then that it will look some what like before.

so I am back buildin and will have pic's soon. thanks for lookin.

Re: EL THUNDER, new re-build

well had a great day today. sun. worked on Thunder and got it ready for a test ride. chain kept coming off. it somehow got crooked when I welded it and didn't see it. sooo got it off and cleaned up. ready to put weld up again and it was dinner time. wow, that went fast. so tommorow is supposed to be another nice day.lol. sure, in the Pacific NW. so if it is I should beable to get it welded up and go for another test ride. will take pic's then.
I will ride it for a few days to make sure all is well, then tear down, clean it up and get some primer on it and then paint. it will be black hammer paint with some white. so am keeping my fingers crossed and hope all goes well. untill then.

Re: EL THUNDER, (it's a rider)

well didn't get pic's today. too busy getting the drive train some what right. I kept throwing the chain. found out when I sat on it the chain would go slack. lol. so I sat on it and got the tire moved back and that worked out ok. had to put in a spacer to move my cranks over to get the chain running right. it's still not perfect but at least I can now ride it. have to put a front brack on it yet. if it's nice tommorow I will take some pic's.
also will have to put a chain tensioner on it. so thats all for now. thanks for lookin.

[KOTA]

Can't stop looking at it!....NICE bike, OUTLAW.....Hurry up and get it painted! I need new wallpaper for my screen.

 

[MplsCoaster]

Wow! Your bike is way cool! Lots of interesting ideas. Nice job!

 

[SCHWINNRAY69]

That's awesome! 8) Can't wait to see it done :wink:

 

[OUTLAW]

thanks guys. it's turning out ok. not bad to pedal either even though it is heavy. it started to rain today and will be raining for a few more days. have to go tommorow to pick up more hammer black as I ran out. so as soon as I get good weather I'll finnish up painting the frame. still have to put another 4 or 6in's on the bars, just alittle short and then get that painted white. thinking about painting the seat white also. so thats it for now. thanks for lookin and glad ya all like it. it goes up for sale when it's done. ok later.
