I wanted to start a BUILD thread since my intro was beginning to take shape of one any way.
I picked up this Frankenstein rat bike as a semi operational project.
I added a new seat, classic grips, and widened the rear fork to fit the 24"x3.00" fat tire. I also rake'd out the front springer fork thanks to some suggestions from this forum. I really dig the longer lower look of the bike.
This week I will replace the front wheel and tire. Also, tonight I will begin making a custom wooden tank for the frame. I made a template and will cut it out tonight. I will post pictures later as that progresses.
