    How often do you have those moments when you pick up a part that suits your build perfectly, then remember you tried to sell it a while back and no one wanted it....good thing on this little headlight that I pulled off of my yellow Shelby when I sold it. A little modifying, and it looks great!

    I do like them, but they are overpowering. I have a couple of smaller muscle bike sets that I will try tomorrow.

    I think that this set may be too over the top and actually take away from the overall bike. But I did add my only set of Rocket L grips for some flavor!

    I am thinking that apes will be the smart choice for the rat rod show, so I grabbed a bmx stem and a big set of apes.

    Well, I claimed that this would take 2 days, 3 max. So here is tonight's update. I have a cool set of handlebars that I have been thinking about extending, not sure what they are off of but they are the style of a Mark III set.

    I do like like them although, I think this stem is too tall. I will have to try a few sets on before I settle on a setup.

    It is funny how that happened, I just wanted to see if I could make the tank work on this frame. I had to trim the tank some back towards the seat tube but I wanted to keep the original graphics on the tank, the more that I looked at it....it works! Then I got out the orange wall duros that I...

    Alright, the last update for tonight and very possibly not going to stay with this stem and these bars. I just wanted to see how they looked on here! Tune in tomorrow, you will probably see this thing finished and ready to ride. If not, Friday for sure!!

    I installed a pair of orange wall Duros that I bought for another project onto some blue anodized 55mm wheels with a kt kickback hub. Coming together nicely............
