started on the wheelie bars , but not sure yet how ill make the ends of it..
i drilled some nuts to fit over the bolt shaft , these alow me to weld between the tube and the nut and keep the threads clean

decided to make a sissybar ornament , my first thought was a middle finger hand :giggle:
but since i keep hearing here and on the streets that my builds look factory made, i decide to make a
'Built Not Bougth' sissy bar ornament :wink1::cool:

started with a 1'' tube and the smallest wrench i could find
still ,ended up cutting and removing about 3/8'' to the wrench to have a good scale .
the tube was hammered to fit the 2 sissybars snugly

A small edit on the hand
I made a little watch for it and shaded it with candy black from the bottom a little and clear everything
continuing with the watch theme:nerd:

:39::39::39::39::39: iam leaning for orange , only cause the arrows on the steerer tube watch is orange

Made me giggle... It's rad...
Thank you :)

Not much progress ..
i did paint test with candy green and also blue , over neon yellow , the results is underwelming:oops: the metalcast rattle cans can't make clean shading , a even coat and it does darker spots ,and with many coats to not see darker spots i can not see any more yellow throught it

still haven't found any metalcast in orange after 2 stores, this thing seem to be rare...

iam leaning for a plain collor now, iam already set on using flat black for anything other than the frame.


i tried making fishtail pipes with a wheel inside for the wheelie bars , but that prooved to be way to dificult ..
did half of one and it looked more like lowrider than muscle bike so i quit on that idea and going simple
