Ok guys here's the latest. Cut up scrap and damaged bars and came up with these sweet "Z" apes. I was going to do 8" but drew them out and 9" looked better on paper so went ahead and did 9" and glad i did! Also did some finish work and sanding on the fork triple tree to get ready for paint...

Not much of an update but an update none the less. got my neck tube and bb removed from my donor frames and ready to weld, now have to go to the steel yard tomorrow to select my tubing.

haha awesome. ill ad that to my list of tires to try on

Too cool man. those the final bars?

Ok I'm in!!! Picked up this Schwinn Cruiser Supreme from a local old man for $30 to use as a parts donor. Also picked up a trashed OCC Stingray for next to nothing to use for parts as well. The bike will be a mix of swap meet parts and with brand new wheels,tires,chain,grips, and pedals...

very cool build. going to be a head turner for sure!!!

too cool

grips on, chain on, bandana seat cover on. took it for a ride. rode pretty nice. cruiser and only a cruiser for sure. wheel flop is tolerable. going to be swapping the bars out for baby apes sometime in the future for knee clearance, but for now itll remain like this. its a real head turner...

havent yet since i haven gotten the chain on. but just sitting on it pushing with my feet it does ok. turn radius isnt great but not bad for the overall length. since the rake of he neck is so ridiculous it dives down in the front when you turn more than 40degrees either way. got some good...

Almost there!!! just need a chain and grips. and have to make some other small adjustments. made a stand that slides into the bottom of the seat tube but will also have to fab up a kickstand of some sort. Cut out the filler panel to fill the frame for the mean time until i figure out what i want...

awesome

Sanded the primer and primered again. three fat wet coats. ready to begin assembly soon. just need to gather a few more parts.

Yea it usually chalks up when its exposed to elements particularly harsh sun/heat. i hit the wheels with four fat coats but ill probably go powder when i get new hubs :)

yep going with the red oxide for sure

MOAR. And some red oxide primer to keep the flash rust off. might go with this instead of paint to keep it kinda ratty.

love the front end!

problem im running into now is that the BOA's inflated are 1.5-75" lower than the stock tires. and i set the ride height for 3" so turns should be interesting lol. needless to say that there will be future adjustments. still learning as i go!
