Hey Kingfish, thanks for your interest, hope all is well with you. I had to pet sit for 14 animals for a week and a half so I got a little behind, but I'm on it, more photos soon. More doodads and lots of hand filing and sanding on this frame. 21 pieces you can see and another 7 you can't, done...

That's the base itcame with, it's a boat shifter, 1950's I think. Thanks TRM, I got vision and most of the world wears bifocals

It seems to keep growing to me too ., its going to be a challenge getting it out of my apartment. Thanks, glad you like it

I don't know the difference, but I'll take what I can get !!Thanks, glad you like it

I appreciate the praise from a Doodad master.Pretty much everything I use when I commit doodadery comes from the trash, it's such a great resource. .Thanks again for the compliments, I love your bike, it looks like it belongs at the drag strip in the early '60"s

Sorry about the mike,had it for years and not being a musician, I guess I didn't appreciate it's value. I hope the cool factor makes up for it.

As I said earlier the frame was welded together during the week and I've been hard at work on some other aspects of Royale. We are still seriously contemplating the front forks. I feel like I may have to stretch them a few inches, but we'll see. Any way, stay tuned. More to come very soon!!!

After the seat I started to work on a nice custom shift lever. I had some more old treasures lying around and decided to go with a handle from a fireplace tool, a piece from an old lamp, and in my opinion a really cool old boat shifter. And the finished product is another fully functional...

So I then feel like I may have gotten a bit ahead of myself with the seat, but I was really intrigued by how this was going to turn out. I started with a faux black alligator skin I made the insert for the seat. Then after some tedious upholstery work I came out with a really nice looking...

So knowing that a lot of you guys out there like the DooDads, I like to feel that I am a pretty accomplished DooDadist myself, personally studying in the art of DooDadism for many many years. I hope that my most recent ventures into the realm of DooDads would convince you all of that.

I started to dig through my old treasure chest and managed to come up with these old ape hangers I had hanging around along with some other pieces I knew would come in handy one day.... I proceeded to turn the ape hangers into a really nice set of pull backs.

Once again.... Take an old horn, and some parts off of an old lamp.... We have a new and improved horn!! All of which I personally think is pretty awesome in many ways.

Next up... If you take a very old microphone and some various other items saved from the junk pile, and of course the gutting of an LED flashlight.... Viola!! We have a tail light!!

After completing the frame mock up I put it aside for a bit to work on the infamous DooDads. So, if you take an old desk fan motor cover, add the horn button out of a 1967 Olds, mix in a projector beam lens, and finally the guts from a cheap LED flashlight..... Your finished product should be a...

So after raising the bottom bracket as discussed earlier, I proceeded to swap out one frame tube that me and the bike weren't to sure about, and ensured that everything is straight. Which is a lot easier said then done. I've been telling myself for years that I need to make a frame jig, but I...
