Some detail shots:

Look at me, bein’ a day early and what not! Kind of a departure for me this year. I usually lean towards more aesthetically pleasing lines, but this one was more of a “fun” build for me. Pretty happy with the end result, but now I have to find a place to keep it. Final full bike shots:

Got the “brake discs” officially installed and bloodied: Found a place to mount the arrows. This is one of those things I thought about forever, but when I went to do it it just wasn’t going to work as planned. I thought this was a nice solution though: Got some nails in the bats for good...

Ok, so I tidied up some loose ends, like the bat mounts. Still need to make the bats more lethal. Keen eyes may have already noticed another addition. You didn’t think I was done adding sharp edges yet, did you? Originally I was planning on one of these corn blades, as a chain guard...

Things are happening....

Plus a little “thematic accent”:

Getting better paint than it deserves. Primer: Tighty-Whitey base coat:

Dressed up the bars a little bit while they were off: Also finally got a nanna seat I can work with:

I do too, and gravity kind of keeps them in place, but if you wanted to grab one of them it’s easier with the handles up. Plus they may still end up with screws or barbed wire attached to them, which would be right behind my back when riding. I’ve got a little time to mess around with them.

Little more progress today. Not attaching anything too tight because I need to blow it all apart for paint. Not sure what I was thinking here, but this at least gives you an idea of what is next. The bats were originally envisioned “handles up”, but somehow they ended up like this. I think...

Also got a mount for Mr. Headshot fabbed up today. Had to round the sharp metal edges off a little bit. Wouldn’t want anybody to get hurt...👍

Still a long way to go, but I was able to put all the important bits together at the same time and go for a spin. The rules don’t specify a turning radius, but I was able to navigate down my driveway and back without stopping, so that’s probably good enough for everyone but OddJob 😂. Looks...

Doesn’t matter how much time I get, I’m always doing everything in the last two weeks... Did some handlebar engineering yesterday. Even though it’s just pictures, I wanted everything to actually work, which ended up being more complicated than I thought, but I found some materials to get it...

No, I can’t even find a reasonably priced nanner to decorate myself. You got anything?

Need it to go between a “standard” sissy bar, or I would consider that. Thanks!

Care Bear seat seller flaked. See my request in Wanted section for banana seat.

So my deal for a Care Bears seat went nowhere, looking for a banana seat to contrast the violence of my build off bike. Something flowery or with teddy bears or unicorns or rainbows or my little ponies, IDK? Let me know what you got and how much. Now's your chance to unload one of those...

Only a psycho would pay $32 for this seat, right?
