If the weather is reasonable over the summer, I am hoping to get this one finished too, still lots of work to do, but I have everything needed to finish it!
I don't have any pics of how it sat at the end of BOTEN as I was doing video updates for the most part, but here is how it sits now:
A few cool touches on this one, but with the fork length and rake involved it is a show pony for the most part, but as always I make sure my builds are ridable and functional.
Single sided rear with a 17x8 rim mounting a 180x17 motorbike tire, front end is an underslung leafspring set up, which I don't think has ever been done before, front wheel is a 21x3 rim mounting a 90/90/21 motorbike tire.
It currently has a 7 speed megarange freewheel and jackshaft mounted discbrake, I am not sure if that will stay or if it will be changed to single speed for a cleaner look.
I have some 'Indian Red' metalflake, and a hide and a half of honey/caramel coloured Kangaroo leather put aside for the finishing touches, so it should be a real looker when it is done.
If you want to catch up on the build so far, here is the old build thread: http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/index.php?threads/boten-outlaw-withdrawn-from-the-build-off.91866/
If you want to catch up on the video posts, I have a playlist on my Youtube you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAJhqbG6roPd8iUhpC473UznU4UbEyrFx
My first focus during this build-off is the 'Back40' build, so it may be a little while before progress happens here...
