That looks killer! Seeing it with the tank in really puts it in perspective.

Took and OCC kickstand that I had cut off a frame, and tried to adapt it onto my frame.

It'll have to be cut down, but hopefully it works.

Is that a compliment? Um, thanks?

Yeah it is sir!! Wicked tank!!

Threw on some of the other potential parts, and took it for a spin. The pedals scrape too much, but I think I can fix that without changing much. I've got weighted exercise bike pedals, so I'll cut the weights off, and try it again. Also, the fork does spring quite a bit with that much rake, but I think it's within an acceptable amount. Time will tell on the next test ride.

very cool build I like it ...alot !!!

 

[kingfish254]

Always good to get a rider going so you can work out the kinks. Looking slick!
I forget who it was that made some inserts to dampen those springers. Might have been in the @thatismytruck vs @ifitsfreeitsforme build challenge. I can't remember if they dampened the spring or basically disabled it.

That is a work of art. Love the bike! Once this thing comes together it will be incredible I am sure.

 

[Pedal_junky]

That bike looks like it will take lunch money. Very unique and bad a_ _.

 

[CRASH]

Terrific concept Deven! Keep it up!

 

[flyingmachine]

can't wait to see more of this build , its a fav of mine !!!

 

[deven_science]

Made a 7/8" to 1" spacer so I could use the Triumph bars that I originally intended to use on this, and put on my baseball glove finger grips. Also cut the weights off of the pedals. I only scraped once on my next test ride, so I might be able to leave my springer alone! We'll see with further tests, but there isn't a whole lot more to do. I'm not a hundred percent satisfied with the kickstand, I want to lay down a subtle chain guide on the frame where it just barely hits it, decide if I want to incorporate a headlight and/or taillight into the build, and then permanently mount the tank. Here's how she looks now:

[MrLeghorn]

Awesome! Looking very cool

 

[Gold Street Customs]

Looking good, hopefully I will get to see it at Behind Bars, and I get my done or close in time to take also.

 

[GuitarlCarl]

Ah! You beat me to the handle bars...
I have some on the way that look a lot like those...

The awesomeness continues!!!

Sweet!

Looking Great ! I'm glad to see progress shots post vacation.
As you were messing with your kick stand, I thought that a Horse shoe might be a suitable touch in that area and I hope you don't mind the suggestion. (It won't happen again )
