i really finished this a month ago, but i didnt like the handlebar. got the unit i wanted in the mail today.
i found this manta ray in a ditch a couple months ago. the wheels were missing. the frame was rusty and rattle can painted w/ runs all over. the springer was bent,rusty,painted, and missing some bolts while some bolts were bent or wrong.
the seat and sissy were trash. i gave them away. the bar was pretty scarred up, so i cut it up.
i guess i could go on, but i wont.
if you like it i can get better pix.i'd like to take some in the daytime.
if ya dont like it, well my mom used to say if ya dont have nothin' nice to say......

yeah, cool!!!
Did those come with a wider rear tire?

yeah i think so. the wheels were missing. i squished the rear together in a vise to make it fit a mag wheel.

and it also appears that i cannot spell build. i can. i guess i was in a rush :(
 
very kool, whats that other bike next to it? looks like a great start to another rat. nice job, yep thats a rat.

hey beat i think that fasteddie has a bike that hes building that has the same style of frame and hes got mags on it. i could be 100% worng about this but im pretty sure they look alike. check out the bike build thread and look for skateboard bike. your bike looks good tho. i really like the shorty sissy bar

Nice bike, it bikes reminds me of one my earlier bikes.

heres two versions of it, I originally had it with the cruiser seat and bmx bars, but a friend bought it from me and he went through my parts and we ended up swapping the seat and bars out. Not sure which one I like more..
