Never used that before. You mean something like this?

That's not what I was referring to, but it looks like it might work for less money. I'm not sure if there is a DIY for ceramic coating. It's very similar to powder coating. There's a place in Atlanta that I know of that does it, but you might could find something closer to Savannah. Not sure what the cost would be.

Those's bars are RAD !

Ordered some of this to try out.

The original Screamer butterfly apes were meant to mimic the butterfly steering wheels found in dragsters. Something about the positioning of these Mothras on Holeshot gives more of a dragster butterfly vibe than a apehanger vibe. (mini dragster from 1970 )

A little lesson on the ol' Lepidoptera bars.
Lookin' pretty racy there with the checkered tape!

Hmmmm....I wonder how this might look:

 

[kingfish254]

Some people have suggested putting a nanner on here. I tested the look a few days back and didn't care for it.

After work yesterday I was sitting in the shop staring at the bike and I notice s monark springer front in a box behind it. The springs reminded me of the spoiler springs and then I thought it might be cool to have a suspension sissy bar (like bighit did with Supervillian). Well I had to try and mock it up from there.

I really don't feel this, but I figured I'd post up the mockup anyway.

Looks 'racier' , more 'holeshotier' with your original saddle / design.

If you were going for 'bouncy' , then the above would fit.

I pulled aside an old bare metal saddle that I have. I think I am going to play around with it today.

My problem with going the nanner full blown chopper route is that I want something different than another "Poke Choppa". I had a blast with that one, but I want a different vibe with this build.

 

[metalchewy]

I agree on the nanner. Too far back, imo, for the frame.

Adding Bare bobber seat with a center pad, with low sprung springs, would fit in quite well. ;-)

 

[kingfish254]

If you are talking about a seat that is slammed on this frame, it wouldn't be ridable. The frame is to low on the back end. : D

 

[kingfish254]

Here us the seat I am planning to use. I know it will be comfy cuz this pan is just like the one I used on Flexy.

 

[kingfish254]

My first 4 build offs were wood or metal pans. The past 3 have been full seats. Time to get back to my roots. These open up paint and finish options too.

I like that seat brother. You can send me that Nana [emoji16]

I like the spring nana, maybe not on this bike.

To me, man, it's all about that frame. You don't need all that other stuff unless it improves the ride (IMHO)

 

[Dr. Tankenstein]

Yep, saddle=yes
Banana =no

You have a very special frame there. Let it shine, bro, let it shine!
