I ended up holding off on the idea of the throttle brake for now, mainly just because I was impatient and just wanted to get it on the road as soon as possible. I still might explore that option some time later unless I decide to upgrade to a Hydraulic disc setup. Also right now the only brake...

I think it ended up being about 115 lbs with the vast majority of that coming from the rear wheel/tire. Once I get the fender light batteries etc all hooked up i'm sure it will easily be pushing 120. Thanks for the compliments! I can't wait to get this thing finished... although I am fairly...

I'm still slowly but surely working on this bike, unfortunately a whole lot of life has just gotten in the way lately. First my Air Conditioner and then my truck broke down which has kind of managed to put a damper on my fun projects. Still for what it's worth here is how it sits right now...

Ok I swear I didn't fall off the face of the earth, but man it kind of feels like I did. The Project for my for my friend is on hold indefinitely I really want to get back into it but his current financial and time constraints are the limiting factor for that project right now. I have started...

Re: skull-o sis (steering concept revealed) Man this bike is AWESOME! I can't believe that I never noticed it before. I just love all of the detail that you have put into it so far and I am just dying to see how that steering is goin gto work when you ride it. Keep up the amazing work!

Re: My first build - burrito style Nice looking bike! I just kind of finished up my project not too long ago and just started helping a friend with one. Once we finish his bike I plan on building either something very much like yours. Or maybe a Cargo bike/Bike truck... Although the more...

Re: Tank Lol! I guess I'll just have to continue to keep an eye out on eBay because that is where I have been looking anyway. Oh and maybe for a normal (relatively speaking of course) bike it wouldn't make much of a difference but I'm sure for my bike there would still be noticeable...

Very nice! I can't wait to see that fork on that frame. This is going to be a really tuff looking bike when it is done.

Re: Tank Oh My... Where in the world did you find a 9" brake disc? That thing looks massive on there. The largest brake discs that I have been able to find are 203mm (8") and with a 70lb wheel on my bike I need the largest diameter possible. But in other news. Your bike looks really cool so...

Well not much of an update but I was able to wrap the bars for my grips and I stopped by the local bike shop to pick up some brake cable for the rear. It turns out that I was right about that rear brake... it makes noise and gets really hot but doesn't slow down the bike all that much. I am...

Wow I don't even know how I missed seeing your other post! I have not been on this thread in a while since I have really not had much to update. But yeah don't worry about it. Still I would love to see a build thread for your bike too. Due to the great weather I have kind of decided to...

Haha, Unfortunately all of you guys are still too low... no really. I'm seriously starting to conceder doing some weight reduction surgery on the rear wheel with a hole saw. I actually considered getting a big 8" disc for the rear when I first started assembling the rear wheel, but now that...

Wow! gorgeous bikes! For such humble roots they turned out stunning. Not to mention I'm just a sucker for black. If it was not for the fact that I was going for a theme look, my current project bike would definately be straight black and chrome like yours.

Well between last weekend and last night I have managed to finish up mounting the transmission piece and I actually was able to find that original leather seat that I wanted. I also went out and picked up some brand new chains and installed them.... Then I took it for a ride. It was great...

wow That bike is just too awesome! I can't wait until my son is old enough that I can build him something like this. Not to mention this is basically the exact same theme that I am doing for my project chopper, so i can't help but love it. Keep up the great work, your son is one lucky guy!

Awesome! I'm glad to have a second oppinion on it. I really think it will look pretty cool and go with the bare bones look of the bike. Now the question is mount it solid or build some kind of springer for it... I guess I'll wait until I get the seat first and just burn that bridge when I get to...

Thanks Kota, That's basically what I was thinking about doing but I'm not going to need spacers. With the fender sitting right where I want it It touches the top and bottom stays. My only problem is I don't know if I want to just straight weld it on or make it removable. If I am just going to...

Really small update... unfortunately I have not had much time to mess with the bike lately but I was able to get my "transmission" piece welded up last night. I ended up swiping a couple sprockets from some coaster brake hubs and welded them to a normal front hub. I know it looks a little...

Thanks! I'm a big fan of the Bravada front also, especially in black,I think it has kind of a sinister look to it. The funny part is that I also own an actual Bravada too, my wife's truck, and it's black too... Lol, yeah we have matching cars. Her truck however is actually lifted about an inch...

This is the only good pic that I have handy right now. And trust me I know where you are coming from, if anything is a budget build this truck definitely is. It's taken me about 3 years to get it from stock to where it is now, which unfortunately in the grand scheme of things isn't really that...
