BrettMavrik's Production Bobber Frame For Sale

[BrettMavriK]

Yes, I did.
I was just playing around with some 7/8" .120 wall DOM tubing (beefy).
You can't bend these puppies. I am changing up the stem configuration
and will be going to a drag bar on risers that will have a swept downward
look to them.

 

[outlawbiker]

how are you doing the white wall tires? they look great! do you just paint them or use dye?

 

[TerrontheSnake]

Veryy cool, well it looks like if I want a Morini in one it wouldnt be to hard to weld different mounts on. Is the frame steel?

 

[BrettMavriK]

I painted them with special rubberized paint that I am R&D'ing right now as to
how well it will hold up. I have tried over 5 different paints and all have flaked off,
discolored, or came off in big sections like taffy. Hopefully this #6 batch will do the trick.
It went on very nicely and seems hard but flexible....so we'll see. =-]'

 

[BrettMavriK]

Mounting a Morini wouldn't be hard at all.
My motor mounts are not welded on. They are a true bolt-on affair.
The beauty of them is that they can be "clocked" into almost any
position of tilt, and can move forward & back or up & down on the frame.
This allows for perfect positioning, and gets the chain slack tug-of-war between
both sides of the jack shaft a thing of the past. The jack shaft mount can also move this way.
It's really a beautiful thing.

Oh yeah, the frame is all DOM Steel. Strong but still light respectively speaking.
In fact, My frame only weighs about 2 lbs. heavier than the stock Stingray frame
and it is much bigger.

Hey Brett have you tried the whitewall paint from a guy in Iceland?

 

[TerrontheSnake]

It was designed by a chemical engineer and becomes one with the tire, as well as it is a paint that does not "dry" completeley so it stays rubbery and won't flake or peel.

 

[BrettMavriK]

I've seen and heard great things about that stuff.
It's a little pricey however. Everything adds up when
it comes to keeping these bikes as affordable as possible.
I know his blend isn't some new rocket science, so that tells
me I can achieve it here cheaper. It's just going to take R&D.
I think I nailed it this time however. I've only put one coat on
so far. The coverage was excellent and pretty tough.

One of the tricks to their paint is the thiner they use, which actually starts to break down the rubber under the paint in theory this effectively "welds", the rubber paint to the rubber tire.

Turpentine... =-]'

I would totally love to help you devise your own version of this white wall paint if you don't succeed this time around!! You could make a fortune off of that alone!!

 

[TerrontheSnake]

I want Red walls though!! Yeah!!

 

[bbb]

RED...now we're talking.
Been looking for red walls for my chrome stretch.

 

[BrettMavriK]

I don't think adding pigment to the white would be a problem.
I'm thinking red, blue, yellow,orange,green, purple.... even silver and gold. =-]'

I don't think red would look good on this build. The colors I would choose are either blue or silver. Don't get me wrong I LOVE red but with blue and white it looks too christmas-y.

 

[BrettMavriK]

LOL!!! NO!!! =-]'
I was referring to the colors of tire wall paint I could make available for sale.
The walls on this blue bobber stay white...

 

[TerrontheSnake]

WOOP!! I can't wait, I need a three speed hub. O yeah and are you brazing, Tig...etc....

 

[eomonkeyboi24]

Oh ok, i thought totally wrong lol. Well i like the white. Can't wait to see more upgrades. Ever thought about putting nitrous on it?

 

[BrettMavriK]

White Grips came in today.
These are 7/8" on the left and a 1" on the right for the throttle control tube.
I like the Old School Gran Turismo look... =-]'

 

[eomonkeyboi24]

That is one stylin' bike! Hey where did u get the two different sized grips?
