I´m the DUMB one, dunno if it´s tank, rack or chainguard, heII, it looks like a steampunk mini vacuum cleaner from this side of the world! :oops: :lol: :lol:
What ever it is, throw it in, looks cool :wink:

I used the word DUMB, probably subconsciously, because "I" think it's dumb! They were just lying there and for a split second I thought it could make a cool exhaust .. Steampunk mini vacuum cleaner! :lol: :lol:

Hi, I'm new to the forum, and you've already become an inspiration for me! Keep it up, the bike looks killer so far! I'm entering the build off, but I plan on voting for yours! :mrgreen: Also, I'm heading to the hardware store tomorrow to pick up a conduit bender! I can't wait to break something!

I'm honored that my "simple" builds inspire people...Thanks!

You're right, TWO less now! But on the positive side. I can now make a "Steampunk mini vacuum cleaner" DUAL exhaust.:lol: ...I think I bought THREE for $10 at a swap meet a few years ago. I always liked the way they looked, especially raked forward....Just time for a different look.

Closer pics.
Is it RAINING out: YES
Do I CARE: NO! Bike can't get any rustier then it is.

Have to look at these for a while. Don't know if I like them...They'll be black.

Bars ARE spaced evenly. Hard to get the right camera angle to see.

Bro, that is one BAD "BEEP" bike with attitude. Tank is perfect & chainguard kicks "BEEP". Looks wicked! Looks like it's moving when it's standing still. Keg idea is really cool! 8) :mrgreen:

KEG idea was NLCTVWguy, Rob. He got them at Ocean State Job Lot. I PM'd him and he said that's why he mentioned the store, so US guys can get them. I paid $4 for it and it came with some real COOL (ugly) shorts....So far that's the ONLY money I spent, and I'm not counting it as cost for the build...Cause I'm WEARING the shorts right NOW!
