this thing will be such a beast reminds me of this

or maybe something like this for front :39: would have same curve as frame below tank

finally had time to blast everything while the weather was nice and as I suspected the right side of tank turned into swiss cheese, thank goodness for fiberglass mat will be laying a layer of that on the inside as its just to thin to weld. now time to reassemble and start cutting,fitting and...

not a lot new every time I had time to blast everything its been raining and today while nice couldn't pull away from watching the Indy 500 tomorrow will diff. be a blasting day though so I can start cutting and welding, will throw this out anyways, my new bottom bracket

tank and tires came in and a Big Thanks to Kingfish for recommending these BOA-G's its just what I was envisioning for this build Big 'ol tires to fill up the fenders :happy: the hookworms I first tried as soon as I put them on I didn't like the fit or tread pattern for this bike I was only...

Nope not a engine, thought about one and was looking into electric conversion kits also but once I seen the cool bikes already started here with those additions decided to go a different way, I may be throwing myself under a bus though:21:

Thanks all... tires should be here this week along with a rough tank. I held off on blasting everything until tank shows up so can do it all at once. And my box showed up from the UK today 1 1/2 - 2 weeks early from estimated arrival date :) and I am pumped :rockout: wondering if I made a wrong...

until the tires come in I can't chop up fenders yet to extend and gotta decide on final design for front anyways but here's just one of the rough mockups would need to be thinned out more going back though I think if I go with something like this

well I found a tank kinda... should be here this week but its rough :eek: probably be swiss cheese when I blast it as it already has some holes with other pix I received but only one I can come up with right now and I don't think I will have time to make one with everything else that needs to be...

Thanks for options I ordered up a set BOA-G's after researching them I want the biggest tire I can fit on this build as tire size/tread to me makes or breaks the look of a build (stuck with me from my car/rod building days) and this thing with the deep fenders and big fork needs the fenders...

Thanks Kingfish I am going to look into those, as the tread design on the hookworms just really don't go with this bike design. Anyone have a set of BOA-G tires mounted on stock width rims they could measure tire width for me?

Dang its hard to find cool tires I got these 26x2.5 hookworms in not sure if they will grow on me or not:39: knew this build needed wider than the 2.125 and these seem to be a tad taller also to fill the fenders, for now guess they will do unless I find something else better seems everything I...

Thanks all... now to search for the right headlight thinkin I may have something in my stash don't remember what's on the bottom or in the back anymore on the shelf or what's in the shed in a cabinet (yes I am a light hoarder:D)

with black being my favorite color named seemed appropriate (along with my user name) as this BO bike will be Blacked out completely. This is where it started from though... my old '79 Chevy that I did back in the day and it wore the name Blackout on the tailgate. (bad pic of a pic.)

Lens came from Moon Equipment they have some cool ones will be my taillight. part from UK comes in end of the month looks like, it will require some frame mods. so going to work on what I can until it shows and then hope it actually works out or on to plan B, is from a ebay seller but answered...

devils in the detail Have a kool part headed this way from the UK I hope...never bought anything from across the pond going to take quite awhile to get here then may need some modification hope I have time to make it work

did just a quick slap together mockup to get a feel where I will head on this, know the tail dragger fenders have been done before :rolleyes: but have been wanting to do with deep fenders with this fork or maybe full wrap don't know yet.... may be to much :39:

found on tandems from Germany I think it was

only having a few frames to chose from right now the X53 seems will be the best fit with the fork, search on for a tank now for it......

Going to jump in had fun doing Bare Bonnie(ville) last year, my winter build off Black rat dragster did not get near finished just had way to much going on but it will get finished another day. Naming this one just Blackout as black is my fav. color, haven't decided shiny or patina black yet...
