(WBO) Bhuzzard

What I did with Flexy was add jam nuts for every bolt.

Um, thanks...I guess.

Thanks for noticing, I had to add a spacer under the front mount to get the lines parallel.

I've been thinking that I will go back through everything and add lock washers or lock nuts wherever there's a fastener.

Permatex Threadlocker Red is what I use during assembly. The bike looks awesome!

Sticky & sweet nuts?

Once again, there was too much to do in one day so I didn't get it running yet. Thanks to all of you for the advice on the clutch. I do think it will work. I rode the bike and tested it without fuel and it engaged as it should. And Funk, that's good advice on checking all of the bolts (except it's the ones that I failed to tighten). Besides the stem being loose, I have found a few others that got overlooked in my haste!
As I said earlier, this was my last day so I had to stop short on my goal of running the motor so that I could take it out for some pictures. I'll have to go through all of them sometime tomorrow to pick the best few for the finished thread. After a quick look through them, here's a sample:

love this ride Ren! as always great work!!!

Never seen anyone call you Ren before, but I do see a resemblance now. How is The Stimpy Man doing?

 

[barber]

Amazing!

 

[The Renaissance Man]

Thanks ya'll. I'm getting my final pics in order now.
This has been fun and a great way to get this bike built that would otherwise be in separate pieces right now if it weren't for RatRodBikes.

 

[The Renaissance Man]

Done.

A poor man's Whizzer.​

[Missing Link]

And my pick for winner is...
Seriously this thing turned out so cool, the attention to detail is mind blowing, and it's functional, and motorized...what? You come by your title rightly Ren.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

[kingfish254]

AWESOME build and I love the Bhuzzard theme. As always excellent repurposing of doodads into cool functioning art. Nice work buddy!!!!

 

[texasbigjon]

[Ratter]

Words don't describe how awesome this build is! You knocked it out of the park!

 

[RustySprockets]

This build turned out as cool as a pair of wrap-around shades! I'm stunned.

 

[Chad T]

Wow you really got busy for the home stretch! Turned out great. Cool build!

 

[Funkme]

I don't know if you could call her a poor mans whizzer,by the time you add up cost of tires,motor etc + the labor + design,and hours,she would become of value...
Well built like always.Love the patina and the chain guard RM.
Buzzard looks like it's been pulled out from a barn also...
Did you go for a spin yet?

 

[The Renaissance Man]

Did you go for a spin yet?

Only by pedal power so far.
I just picked up some 2 cycle oil this morning and am planning to ride it this afternoon! If all goes well, I'll try to post a video!

 

[The Renaissance Man]

It's officially a motorbike!

I didn't think that I would make it by the deadline, but we had one more day than I first thought! What a great feeling when it fired up for the first time! I can finally rest now.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Great video!

Luke.

 

[Funkme]

I bet you had a silly smile from ear to ear...
I couldn't stop riding 1910...
