The light is comprised of brass plumbing connection rod, solar light top & copper mesh.

Herr_Rudolph,

This is quite a compliment coming from the Fender Maestro; nobody does fenders like you do.

GDcast,

"Victorian Futuristic War Bike"; Yeah, that's it. Glad you like the redirection of the build.

Re: RetroWreckTion

Skipton & GDcast,

Thanks for the much appreciated encouragement.

Put a faux springer on and front fender embellishment (not sure if it's going to stay).

Re: RetroWreckTion

Very good, is consistent with the rest. My vote is for you to leave them there...
 
Re: RetroWreckTion

GDcast,

Thanks for your much appreciated input. The front fender embellishments are staying. I did improve the design on the lower shocks; will post a pic Thursday.
 
Re: RetroWreckTion

Scott & Fsjaak,

Thanks for noticing. Hope to use more common household stuff to complete the build.
 
Re: RetroWreckTion

Finished the front end springer, chain guard, sprocket; about half way mark. Working on some front fender stays for now.

Awesome build so far. Really crosses classic and crass well. Might I suggest a little copper on the cranks and rear rack with copper lettering or pinstripes on your tank to tie those parts in with the rest. Nothing much just a touch of flair to set it off. Really a fan either way, your build is sweet.
 
Re: RetroWreckTion

DevilDuckie,

Excellent suggestions; definitely will work in a little more flash. The tank is just raw sheet metal now, have some ideas for punching it up.
 
Re: RetroWreckTion, Tri-Focal Headlight

So I was in a thrift shop & spied these binoculars. I have tried two other lights and have decided on this one for the build.

Re: RetroWreckTion, Redux Headlight

Dude. . . are we twins that were separated at birth? Love the binocular application. At the risk of sounding like "me too", I did a very similar thing some time ago combining the glasses with an old camera. I'm surprised more people haven't already done this since the binoculars are just so cool. Great job!
