Nice work - this is going to be a great ride once it's buttoned up.

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys. This project has been the funnest and wildest bike i have built to date. I am wiring in the lights and battery today so keep an eye out for the picks coming soon.

That is wicked!!!

I really dig the electronics! I also really like the wrap-around fender in the back, but something isn't working for me. I look at it and think it should have a full wrap-around the wheel consistency. Maybe take a front fender and cut/install to cover up that forward portion?

Just a thought.

What a busy sunday. I wired up the lights on the bike and mounted the headlamp. All i need to do this at work is make the seatpost. and mount the chainguard.

I also mounted the left side tin

I thought i would drop in some pics of the new bike with some of my past builds.

Re: JAGUARAT - (Formally jagu-rat. ALMOST FINISHED)

Happy 4th of july everyone. During my lunch break yesterday at took the time to fabricate my seatpost. After mounting the seat yesterday eveningI fanally got the chance to ride it. This morning I road tested it. took it out for a real shakedown. I found the bumpiest bike trail in my nieborhood just to find the rattles and shakes. It is super sturdy. I have built a lot of bikes and by far this is one of the fastest yet smooth riding. I love this bike and i hope you do to.

Re: JAGUARAT @#$%&!@#$ (formely jagu-rat ALMOST DONE)

DId a little this evening on it started to fit the chain guard and making brackets. The best part of the evening was when the sun went down and i got to take a night ride. HEr is what it wasd like!!!!!

The h.i.d. lamp has the most awesome squeil to. You can here the power running through it. All of the riding trails were dark until i rode through illuminating the entire area 50 to 60 feet in front of me.

Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night

Waaay too cool!

I had problems fitting the chainguard on sunday so i sliced and diced it to fit.... I wasn't about to trash it and start over. I pulled it off though. here are a few pics of my f-up! After a couple of coats of paint I wetsanded it to a patinaed finish.

 

[kingfish254]

Yes sir, this build is full of slick goodies!!

 

[killingevilnine]

This bike needs 1 or 2 more little thing to be finished. I had a range rover come in the other day for a tailight change. It had smallest of cracks in it and it went to the trash. WEll one mans trash is another mans treasure. I cut, pryed, drilled, sawed, cut, and smashed the coolest handlebar ornement. I started with this tailight. Does the center of that light look like crosshairs from an old airplane?

Do you think it looks like a gunsight now?

 

[justride]

That little bit is probably the single most expensive part of your bike!

It look great - well done on the build!

 

[kingfish254]

Ridge Runner is gonna be so jealous!!!!!

 

[killingevilnine]

Did you really take apart your taillight to make that?

1) It looks awesome
2) You are definately committed to your build!

Great work and creativity.

Thanks bro but to be honest i didn't tear my taillight apart for this. I work for landrover/jaguar/astin martin of west palm beach. The taillight in question had a scratch on it and was being thrown away. The range rover's owner just happens to be celine dion. So in other words i tore up celine dions taillights for this piece.

damn !!!! You must find lotsa great goodies,from those cars...
