Re: "RATS-ALT" (colors)
KOTA: You didn't steal the braces off my spaceliner rack for your truss rods did ya??? :lol: :lol: Lookin good man! 8)
KOTA said:Haven't touched this thing in two weeks. I decided not to add the extra tubes. After staring and staring, I just didn't see it adding "enough" to the bike. Besides, I really didn't want to paint the frame. Tubes were going to be made out of conduit and you could NEVER get any patina out of that (leave conduit outside for ten years and still looks the same). So with the deadline approaching fast, it's time to finish up. fork and headlight are painted. I found two cans of primer in the back of all my paint cans, so these are the two colors that will be used....The frame will be burned with a propane torch and scuffed with a 3M scotch pad, and a combo of the gray and green primer will be used on everything else.

Re: "RATS-ALT" (guard+tank painted)
Thanks for the positive feedback, guys!
My goal was to use the parts that I already have, including the paint. So far I've spent $18.98, for the fender and the mini beer keg (don't know if I should count this, got a pair of Miller Light boxers with it).
...You heard the expression: "Can't teach an old dog new tricks". It's TRUE. :lol:
Rear fender next.....Propane the frame...Assemble....Done

You are the reason for me not adding the extra tubes. You mentioned if it doesn't have a function, don't use it.....Good advice! Thanks.karfer67 said:

Re: "RATS-ALT" (guard+tank painted)
Took a propane torch and some steel wool to the frame today, removed all the paint. A LOT more work then I thought it would be. Came out exactly the way I wanted it to....Rear fender is the only thing left, a little more fabrication and paint.
Well thanks for the "vote" of confidence....But there really isn't that much going on here. No custom tank, no custom bars, no fat tires or fancy wheels, no extended drop outs, no shiny paint....But I'm having fun!karfer67 said:
