RAT LUX (finished pictures)

[karfer67]

Now that she has her pinstripes i am calling her done for now. so i took her out and snapped some quick pics as the sun went down

 

[karfer67]

quick note the rear hub shiner says lucky 13 not something else that when i just looked at the pic kinda looks like something else.

That's too cool man! Karfer builds just have a bug to them that makes me want to build things. Gets the good kinda juices flowing. Great to see you back around these parts :wink:

A metal flake banana and a really lloooooonng sissy bar would be cool.

dont know if these were the ones at mike's but greg is considering making these as a production bar because they would work well on a more stock cruiser as well. any takers?

start by pming greg66 if you want bars. i think he should produce this same bars as they are but he can also do less radical bars if that is your taste. start by getting a hold of him his stuff is top notch and well made. i have shown no mercy on these bars and had no issues. oh and if you need something pinstriped pm me im broke :mrgreen:
