Yeah yeah yeah, I really dont even want to make my own bike. I would much rather sit on the couch and watch westerns, then every so often walk outside all clean and see how the progress is coming on my new design. The only problem is I'm poor. :lol: :lol:

Re: Had Tank built for my new stretch ( paint pictures 4-12)

well i got it finished today...well sort of. It wasnt hard to build the bike , but i spent several hours trying to get my 26x3 kenda krase tires in that stupid springer. Had to take it apart a couple times and add some spacers to get some clearance. I still need to change the bars and put my stuff on to make my 3 speed nexus work. The tank looks kinda plain but everytime i tried to tape the new paint it pulled it off when i tried to remove the tape. When it dries ill do something else paint wise. :wink:

Thanks to Hooch and you too boardtrack fan. I try to make each one look better than the one before , but I'm thinking i'm gonna hang up my stretcher for a while. Got way too many bikes i like around here. May concentrate on restoring some of the ones i have bought lately , and see if i can peddle a few to somebody else. :lol:
 
Peddle? did you say... err sorry got distacted .. this is my favorite one you have done just a beauty
and the tank is outstanding great craftmanship in this one, did you modify the rear tri to get the 26X3's to fit?
 
This was a straight bar roadmaster luxury liner that 2manybikes gave me . the only part original is the neck ,down tube,and seat post. everything else is totally redone with new stuff. the rear section is my own design. its about 4'' wide . you can put a motorcycle tire in it.

I think it started life as a 24'' frame i couldnt even get a 26'' tire in it much less the krazes.
 
Thanks yall, Its getting better. I put about 30 miles on it today....yeah right, rode it around the block three times , but it rides really nice. :lol: :lol: :lol:
