    The belly of the beast! The lower stay on the Dyno has that nice wide flat spot on the frame......and what better place to start the theme? A little white dusting to make it pop.....will also do on fenders and tank.....yes, I may do even a tank!

    Cue some theme stuff... a little masking and cutting.....and bit of spray and viola!..... Although this was a test on the front fender only, a little white dusting the edges and a misplaced hourglass or spider is in store. The basic shape was a hourglass with pointed ends to give a mean...

    Oh yeah!. A staple! AND as far as prognostication, always speak life. To much toll to do otherwise. My deadline is to valiantly strive to push myself. As a truck driver this weather can really play a role more than skills. ....but yes, until a bike is torn down or sold, it's never done!

    Add some details..... Came up ala Ebay an Odyssey OG Black Widow sprocket and elsewhere a set of VP747 bear trap pedals! Mixin' in some old school! And thru a friend's moto stuff was able to dig up a set of MX low rise bars. Originally intended for a HBBC bike I had. The width and low...

    Black Widow, the Newb's Bonker

    Took alot of prep, and to those who don't know......the $1 store magic erasers are amazing at taking surface rust off with a dash of WD-40. Almost like synthetic extra fine steel wool! Had it on the forks and handlebars. The seat was gone and so no issues with the springs but nothing a bit of...

    Originally swapped the fireball for some Duro 3" whitewalls and once I got it together it looked like this.... A bunch of thrown together parts made to run for the meantime.
