Re: Bobber:ish Rex Lyx 1936 Build.

I have spent about 7 hours infront of my lathe, i was going to buy a shifter but i was short on money so i made my own, i have very little experience on the lathe but have had one for about 3 years just doing simple turnings, i have learned everything myself, im no expert but i really enjoy it, this is the most complicated part i have made this far and i think it turned out great, it works and the finish is pretty .... good for a China cheapo lathe.

Now i just need to find a shifter knob, i have some ideas, as for the brass shifter rod i might do an light S bend on it, should look better and also gets the knob out a little bit from the bike.

Here is where it is right now...

Today i tore it apart to start finishing it up for paint, i polished up the rear fender and the toolbox with a steel brush, some autosol and i got the look i was after!

I will paint the frame this week i hope, more on this later!

 

[Azonic]

Finally i have it done, im really happy with it, it looks just the way i wanted it and it rides like a charm!

Here is some pics i took today...

Tackar!

Jo jag såg den där primerröda lowridern, den är riktigt fin!

I found some white tire paint that i will use to paint my rear tire so i have whitewalls in the rear as well!

I love your bike man, it´s truly a work of art. Be Proud!

 

[noodlenoggin]

Oh, very cool. I dig the lines, the colors are pretty decent, and that toolbox does it for me.

 

[Azonic]

Thanks guys, appericiate it!

I painted one side of the tire white to see what it looked like, im kinda 50/50 on it, maybe its to much white wall, maybe it will look better when not so shiny white, i dont know at all if its a keeper or not, what you guys think, white walls in the rear or not? :roll:

Dang that is cool!

Växelkåpshuset svarvade du ut det själv? I sådant fall vore jag intresserad att köpa ett par om det skulle vara av intresse.

Ja det har jag svarvat själv, kanske att jag skulle kunna göra detta i vinter, men just nu har jag inte tid.

 

[Mugen_Stumpo]

yes!

Killer! You put some nice details on it, the rear fender and taillight finish it off nicely. Good job on the shifter. Now I gotta build a shifter bike, see what you did! :lol:
