(MBBO#04 Class 1) Stormtrooper Rollin' Again

[Fv2]

Well boys and girls, here's the update I promised for this weekend.
Have a couple decals on, and put it in roller form.
Just made a seat post adapter so I can mount the sissy bars properly, sorry forgot to take a pic of that.

Have to paint the chain ring, crank, and peddles. And need to go to my LBS to get my grips, and new chain.
Still waiting on one more decal and some light sabre-ish stuff.

Shouldn't be a problem to make the deadline, I don't think.

Yea, going with white. Found a pair I like, just have to see if I can get them locally rather than ChinaBay.

You're kinda in my head there. Can't afford the costume tho.

Thanks Luke.
The light sabre idea will be removable and hidden, will have to see how it turns out.

Check out this site: http://www.jbi.bike/web/ Nationwide wholesaler that supplies nearly every LBS in every state. I'm sure somebody near you must deal with J & B. Go 'products' , then 'grips', then have at it! Listed by brand usually.

55 bucks at Walmart.

Fab a bracket and snap a light saber under the seat for a rear tail light...
(although stormtroopers didn't use light sabers...)

Yea that's been a thought, I know they didn't use them in the original movies.
I've only seen the three from the 70's, I tried episode one but couldn't get into it.

I have an idea I'm gonna try and see what the consensus is.

Thanks, have my chainring sitting inside gonna put a decal on it today.
Then this weekend I'll put it all back together and try to figure out one last part, hopefully I'll be able to post in the finished thread Sunday.

You know, I forgot about the new movie until my wife got her granddaughter a starwars toy for Christmas.
