So I had to re-visit the rear wheel again. Added a little more hardware and a larger sprocket for going LOW + SLOW.

On the gator wrapped tank I built earlier there is an electric horn button, but no horn for it to activate. Many years ago I "acquired" this siren from a village police cruiser. This bike has a spot that it was made for.

On every bike I build I like to add a pair of wings. Call it my trademark if you will.... Lets see what we can come up with out of this stuff I got a little over excited and wrapped up in this one so I forgot to document the building process. But I think you can get the idea.

For a little extra cosmetic flare I took some pieces of corrugated mesh left over from a gas fireplace installation. Trimmed each so that they were mirror images of each other. Added a little bit of copper accent and some ornamental hardware and the final product is another nice piece of...

Another DooDad I came up with..... Take and old, broken headlight assembly. Drill a hole into the end of it. Stuff a speedometer into the housing and.... Viola! Now I can see how sloooowww I'm going.

I found some more treasure in my picking escapades coming up with an old ceiling fan. I took the motor cover off and made a few modifications in the way of holes and cuts... The clearances are a little tight, but this should work out nicely.

So once again using my rather vast support network of scrappers, junkers, and pickers, my buddy Joe came up with these pretty sweet cymbals. I mapped out and cut/drilled a few holes into each of the cymbals. Then using some ornamental cap screws and nuts I made a sandwich out of the rear...

I got this covered, suspension height will be set last and hardly moves anyway. I live on the south shore of Long Island, it's pretty flat here and my goal is to blow people's minds at the Long Beach and Coney Island boardwalks. Thanks for your input and interest, it helps me maintain focus

Hey Kingfish, my original seat idea was not comfortable enough and not esthetically pleasing so I came up with the Nanner. At this point the suspension spring will be positioned last to set final ride height, the BB Chevy valvespring is to cushion my narrow behind. Oh well back to sanding

Thanks Priscilla, but I wouldn't say brilliant, maybe mad genius

Brian, you should have seen my original sketch, it was about 30 inches longer with an extra rear wheel thrown in.

anyway, back to work. So if you take an old Schwinn blade fork, a piece of handle bar, and a big block chevy valve spring... Cut down and drill the fork. Add the valve spring... Combine these parts with the previously built seat, all the while adding a few brass knobs for extra flavor...

Just wanted to throw this out there. I just scored this pretty nifty trike from my scrapper pal Tony G. One of my best sources.

Black Gator tank. I like it, but I still think it needs something else. To be continued.....

I then had to go hunting. My prey was the extremely rare and elusive black vinyl alligator. Luckily I was able to bag one at the local fabric store. Who'd of thought?

So, after finishing the welding I added a support brace under the back bone, a seat post stub, and rear drop outs.

Those are some pretty welds... ain't they?

I would like to give a very special thanks to my good friend Kenny. Great welding is only one of his countless abilities.

Ok here we go. A thousand apologies for the delay, but the wait is over.
