[ndaway]

I know i cant be the only one :| Who out there has redone their build off bike since the final photos..I will start with mine at the end of the build off

and redone today

 

[big kountry]

I'm considering some changes myself

 

[Houndog]

I changed front tires and added mini apes to mine...

 

[kingfish254]

Mine was perfect, so no changes. :shock:
Love the changes you made!!!
I have really been enjoying the heck out of mine as it was. Other than tweaking bolts, no changes yet.

A lot of the build off bikes are perfect mine wasn't. The original forks I had in mind rubbed the tire and I never was crazy about the tube fork but I ran out of time :shock:

I am thinking about swapping out the front fork on my Higgins. I found the ratty X53 frame that was originally attached to my X53 fork.

My friend Oz had the X53 frame/fork. I only wanted the fork at the time. About a month later, he sold the frame. I took my Lil Tiger in to have it powdercoated at my friend Brian's shop and he mentioned that he had the X53 and hasn't done anything with it. I am considering trying to buy the X53.

I have a nice beehive Higgins, so I am contemplating putting the beehive on my Higgins and then doing something cool with the X53 frame/fork.

its the next one in line. I am stripping it bare and going a whole different direction with it.. :lol:

 

[slowriderz]

I have only changed out the seat. Been tempted to go crazy with it but have really enjoyed the ride.

 

[kingsting]

I've been adding to it but mostly it's been getting ridden.

I'm in this boat too - mine is likely going from Bonneville hot rod to klunker. Seems like the best thing to do with it, I'm not using it as is. I think a klunker would be a bit more fun to ride. I think I'll hang the custom bodywork on the wall (it's "art", right?) and repurpose several of the components that went into it.

 

[mastronaut]

I change mine like the weather in New England...I put some new bars on it, and I am ok with them but I have another set coming this week to try. Oh well, it is my daily rider so I am going for form and function. 8)

 

[mastronaut]

Today I got my new bars, I really like these! Much better control with a shorter wingspan... 8)

 

[streetpirate]

working on some changes, thread bookmarked for when they're done

 

[aka_locojoe]

ndway not sure which version of yours I like better. Not normally a fan of those big forks but they do look pretty cool on there.

I changed wheels, tires, seat and removed the box from the rack.
For the build-off

After build-off

 

[chepe13]

I changed the tires, seat, and bars on mine. I had some old bull horn bars on it, and some bontrager hanks and an old deep spring saddle. Never really intended to keep the hanks, switched them out for some Bontrager G1's and went with a nanner seat and apes.

 

[kingfish254]

It's great seeing all of these build off bikes being used and modded further.

 

[deorman]

Put back the stock fork and swapped on my old Duro knobbies for the mis-matched tires, and a stock type 46t sprocket instead of the Haro 44t. Handles a little freer and good pedal response. 8) On the other hand, riding up hill makes me feel my age. :roll: :lol:

[scrumblero]

from this...

to this....

 

[sensor]

I never do. Why mess with perfection! :lol:
Okay seriously I do a lot.

RRBBO#6:

And the wife's riding it in this form now:

Still trying to find so original b6 fenders and the 6 hole rack is on it again. So it'll be back to stock form at some point in time(too bad I sold all the parts I'm looking for years ago!).
RRBBO#4:

Is getting redone for my son for next year or so and it's actually a lot further along than that I just haven't taken pictures of it in a while:

The one I did for the RRBKids bike build off:

and 2 years ago:

Much better with the correct size crank and fat tires!
