heres a shot of wy winter project . Its a low ridin burrito style bike . it all started with an old sissy bar i had layin around . I cut up the sissy bar and turned it into the front part of my home made springer front end . Im having trouble thinking of a paint job . although black with red rims looks good it is quite overdone , oddly enough i never see any bikes that colour around here in my town . oh well ... i,ll come up with something .

I was determined to build some kind of lowrider . After a quick ride on Scrappy Rons burrito ( from FBN ) i got inspired to build this bike ... Thanks Ron

I,m just taking my time and kinda going with the flow , and having fun with it .

Thats friggin fat!
The name of the bike only gives you a few colors to choose. I wouldn't go with flat black, Matt black then rub it with a fiber cloth to shin it up in key spots. Flat white w/ loud pin striping would look good too. Keep the red rims, they look good on everything.

Thats Bad.......show us more detail!
 
Re: my 2011 winter project ( the gangster )

awsome build! strangley enough i kinda like it raw. if you got rid of the red paint up front and put a clear coat on it. it would be sweet in my book. but you cant go wrong with any color on this frame!
:D awsome

ya know , i don,t really like " FAKE " fuel tanks . This is a water bottle and it does get filled with water .
when i held it up to the bike it just looked " so right " i had to put it there . It think it really brings outthe look of the springer .

Thanks everyone . I,ll post some more once i get a colour scheme worked out .

Sweet burrito!

The lines and drops remind me of Kenny P's Ratty JC Higgins burrito.

Do your feet hit the front wheel if you make a tight turn?
