MBBO Class 2 - ALiEN FiRE - DONE!

[Funkme]

Nanu Nanu .
I thought aliens are green?
Love the light,and the bike is coming together as well.

 

[GuitarlCarl]

All kinds of aliens out there...
Mines hanging from the rafters in my garage now.
That's my work stand.
Installed my chain, set the derailleur and the rim brake.
Seat came together today,
and I padded the battery pack stashed in a metal box.
The plan is to suspend it in the sissy like a head rest...
Probably get all the assembly done tomorrow.
It's dark side of the moon cold out...
(well maybe not THAT cold...)
Haven't shifted to my indoor basement shop yet either.

This bike gives a whole new level to "funky"! Very cool details!

 

[GuitarlCarl]

Not the final pics.


Cracked the mount for the plasma tube...
hence the black duct tape... I HATE it!
So it's probably not gonna make the final cut.
Pretty cool light tho...

Carl.

Maybe cut up some aluminium cans into strips to make mountings? Nice and shiny on the inside, would match the bars and sissy?

Luke.

 

[GuitarlCarl]

Good idea Luke, and thanks for everything here on this build off. But...the housing on the light bar itself is cracked. Wasn't made for a bike. So it has to come off... I will be putting the laser tail light on today and trying to get some pics. I also got the battery box disguised as a seat rest on last night. Future plans include the generator battery charger, just not for now. Swapped out the cheesie purple grips for some black Roadmaster grips, she was a Roadmaster originally... reminding me of another "yet"... I didn't find a good Roadmaster headbadge...yet...

This bike is awesome. It's like it is made to be flipped looks perfect with the big and little wheels. It's good to see this bike done watched it all the way and enjoyed it all! Good luck!

It reminds me of a swing bike that doesn't swing

This build nails the muscle bike theme to me. Awesome job Carl, you got one of my votes.

Thanks KingFish, too bad more folks don't see it that way. Actually my builds usually land just shy of the halfway mark. I suppose they're a little too weird, plexi glass, vacuum tubes, brass cymbals and plasma balls don't exactly belong on bikes. Maybe it's the mediocre pictures, I don't know. I feel a bit underwhelmed. The creativity spent isn't reflected, so I try not to dwell on it and jump into the next Build Off. Hope to see you in the WBO.

Why are you beating yourself up I thought your bike was the coolest thing ever your a pioneer in this whole Ratrod thing who else ever thought to use a frame upside down and have it turn into a badass ride when it started life as a "girls" bike and the upside down bars totally went with the look you were going for I think that your bike is just simply genius I can't wait to see your next

Funkme last year ... but yeah I'm ok... The only bike got more views than mine was Luke's, woohoo . I'm really happy with it and it's all mine. It's the stupid voting that just gets in my head ... You know what? I'm a carpenter with more hammers in my tool chest than wrenches. I also spend more time goofin' off than building, and I get ideas I haven't a clue how to do, so here I am, a crazy bike hacker...

Carl , your bike is awesome , I would have never thought about flipping a bike upside down for a build , that is just plain cool , you got one of my votes for it and don't let the voting thing get you down its just all for fun , I wanted to get on the calendar in the worst way but came up way short , all we can do is pick our self up and move on to the next build and keep on having fun

 

[Schwinnspastic]

Carl I think you did a fantastic job on your bike, not to many people doing frame flips and the creativity you put in the accessories is way cool....I'll be following with your next build !
