The Rustacean

That's just excellent, I love the work you are putting into each little detail! Way to use every piece of the old mirror, you know how to maximize the return on your investment

Great build.

Thanks guys!
Its funny, I don't really think about it, its some sort of flow when I know parts will fit or be used.

Some more details, cleaning up this evening and a final check.

Waiting for the last package, found a really cool bar end!! Hope it will arrive soon, before the buildoff is done.

Finishing the caps.

Mustard and paint again.

Almost done.
Changed the bolts to aluminum ones! Also see the picture below.

Grub screw and aluminum nut.

Checkout the blue line.

Blue line for accentuation of the chrome/aluminum. Will clean the splatters a bit this evening.


Don't know if I will 'dirty' the text plate of leave it...

Thank you!

There is a chance the bar ends will arrive tomorrow, but I finished the bike anyways. Now used the bar end plugs that came with the wooden grips.

I rode it in the rural area of my town and it rides incredibly light and agile for a large bike.

And I made a "Walkaround Video"

Tomorrow I'll ride with my nephew and take some finished thread pictures. Plus a ride video. But there is a chance it will be raining.

Love the bike. And really like the textplate, hope more Dutchies get farmiliar with American cruisers.
