    TEXAS TANK

    So after a bunch of paint and wet sanding with 600 and some assembly the bike went together fairly quick. Had to rush through it to get back to other things but here it is. Still need to purchase some nice grips but that didn't stop me from throwing some old ones on it and taking it out for a...

    (MBBO3 Class2) Texas Muscle Weather finally cleared up enough, still cold out but finally had a chance to go out and snap a few pictures. Didn't really have a favorite photo so just going to throw them all up here. Most are of the same view.

    Merry Christmas! slapped it together for a quick test ride. still need to build the taller lay back post and maybe a set of handle bars. Rides nice, steers awesome. the slouch position is actually comfortable for me. built it with my terrible posture in mind lol. a set of apes will fix that...

Keeping the bars for now just going to get rid of the cross bar and leaving them flipped. keeping the forks as well. was meant to...

    Well, new frame, new name. Looked at the frame long enough and after deciding on what to do, i short after decided that it wasn't what i wanted at all. So made a trip to the steel yard and got some larger OD tubing and got to work. Drew up a few rough sketches and halfway decent one and measured...

    And also, my wife somehow got a hold of this little Hawthorne. Sweet little bike. It'll sit in the garage for a while before it gets back on the streets

    Been having fun blasting around the neighborhood! Its a really good rider. Rode it all the way to my shop today! It sparked a conversation and scored an LS motor for my shop truck :grin:

    Id like to get it striped and lettered eventually but first thing is first and that's making all the necessary corrections to frames geometry.

    TEXAS TANK

    Annnnd back to the drawing board to get some better ground clearance and an attempt to get better steering without reworking the rake on the head tube... I fooled around and wondered if flipping the forks around would get me better ground clearance and it did although it looks incorrect it...

    Ran into my first problem. The aluminum canks didnt have a tight enough tolerance on the occ chopper spindle and worked their way towards the BB and seized up. So i dug up the occ cranks and bolted them up after a good scuffing. Here you can see the sprocket right on the BB OCC Stingray cranks...
