The "Bad" Rat is done...

[Bones122]

Didn't get a chance to take high resolution pics of the build so I'm posting pics of the finished product. This is my first 26" build and I am stoked with the results. The "Bad" is short for Badillo, my fathers last name. This is what I started with:

The end result:

Ruddy Brown Primer was my final choice for color, I liked the way it came out.

The final addition were the 26x2.125 Kenda white walls, only new item for this build.

Found this seat for $5 at the scrap yard!!!!

These license plate fasteners came in handy. Exposed some of the metal to show the lugged fork.

Flip them bars the right way and that thing is SWEEEEEEEEEEEET! I like the red primer, making me want to go that rout!

Diggin it.
Keep the bars as they are IMHO.
Gotta love any rat bike color that has the word "ruddy" in it.
Nice details, even the overspray on the chain adds a rat touch. 8)

Thanks guys, The handlebars have been a headscratcher for me too. I've had then right side up, flipped and even swapped then for the apes off my cruiser. I actually liked the apes, just need to find the right ones.
