I'm in the garage.

Please....oh please tell my that you do not keep such a fine looking ride out in the garage! of course you will tell me it is heated and has a TV system in there and surround sound and of course a fridge, just in case.
The thought of that magnificent ride being parked in a dark and cold garage will not let me sleep now for nights on end.....the shame of it........

Oh, and the gas cap is bolted to the tank... it looks like it needs a key but really any flat piece of metal will get it to open.  I'll try and remember to take a pic of it open the next time I'm in the garage.

Thanks :) I look forward to when it's finished... well i should say 'finished' since I'm probably gonna be tweaking it forever lol.  I want to build a spring solo seat this year too.  I like the idea of brown leather too, I want to re-do the seat and maybe the mudflaps in brown.  I eventually want to get these mufflers too.

I'm waiting on a friend who is gonna C&C machine the tail light cover and turn signals for me, since he's doing it for cost I'm not bitching that he's putting paying customers ahead of me though lol

lol looks diffrent with the metal ammo boxes, neat idea, but MORE pictures would be cool....well ok wait till it gets warmer...

This bike is a piece of artwork. The more I look at it the more I like it.  Ironraven, it reminds me of what the bike should've looked like in Raising Arizona.

"Right" & "Left" turn signals and a "Whoa" brake light.  That's outstanding!


CDNRatMan

So no sense asking you to explain how you made it...lol.......

Thanks Petemoss, that's what I was going for... bought him from a guy who had dumped him and have been piecing him back together.  Some people love it, some hate it, there ain't a lot of middle ground :)  I love not having any chrome to polish lol, the dirtier he gets the better he looks!

The cap is a strange piece, it was on there when I got it...

Thanks guys!  He's a work in progress... I want to extend the exhaust all the way back and either fishtail it or else do turnouts, I'm working on some ideas for 'vintage' tail lights with my own twist thrown in.

The windshield is ... well let's just say it's 'custom' lol.  The top is made from an old snowmobile windshield, it's clamped in place by aluminum channel and bolted on with steel angle...  Here are a few pics of what I have cookin
