Wholly shizzit! Thats is beautiful!! Nice work. There is an outfit selling much lesser MBs for $1400. You could just sell frames and do well. I know I would want one.

Now am day dreaming of that frame 4 stroked.......

emmmmm, 4 stroke...

Thanks.

My sturmey archer drum hub came in the mail today. I think it's a pretty racy lookin unit by itself I guess I gotta brush up on my wheelbuilding skils.

I was kinda wonderin' how you were gonna stop that thing.

There are plenty of wheelbuilding sites that will lead you through it if your memory is anything like mine.

It would look great if you dropped the tank around the top tube but it looks good as is.

Amazingly my hole saw is still pretty sharp after this. Probably more a testament to the cheapness of the sprocket than the quality of the hole saw.

My bike frame builder friends all use regular old hole saws chucked in to their Bridgeports to cut/mitre all types of alloys including Ti and they stay amazingly sharp and last a really long time. Especially if you do your rpm/feed rate according to the guidelines set forth in the machinists handbook.

It may be just me but I really like the Rat look going on with that bike as it is and even like the chain guard.

Two options for paint. It has the rat rod look so flat grey primer with subtle red trim...or, you could go with the 'Captain America' look, red, white and blue.
That tank is just crying for the 'American Flag'. But that's just my opinion.
Whatever you do it will be one cool ride. Congrats on the build.

Mabman, I agree. That is one fine lookn' piece of art. For the love of God! do a four stroke some day. *sniff*, Please?

I ain't kidding

i really like the bottom motor mount simple yet effective

i really like the bottom motor mount simple yet effective

the vibration & load need to be placed over a wider area & welding almost 90* to the pipe it will want to crack there

once again Im not trying to be a wet blanket Im just trying to help before you get it painted

beautiful bike
take care

I thought about a RED WHITE and BLUE theme a while back but didn't think my limited paint skills could do Old Glory justice. But then again paint can be removed. When I picture it in my mind I see a really artistic kind of waving flag colors. But that's just me getting carried away. What I think would really suit it( And I could probably pull off myself ) is just a simple graphic. Stars up front and stripes running back. The stripes could be slightly curved to match the shape of the tank. Sweet.
Pretty much like the easy rider bike.

Jak, I have read some of your posts and it's clear that you know a thing or two about this stuff. Thanks for the heads up on the motor mount. I don't have much experience working with metal. I've been a carpenter for twenty two years so I'm okay at making stuff fit together but I don't rally know how metal "acts".

How long did it take for yours to crack? I'd like to at least get my engine broken in before I tear it down for paint. By the way, your bike frikken rocks man. That thing is way cool.

well... I did jump mine several times & bend a set of forks before I broke the frame

I wish I could easily draw you a picture of a really simple solution that you can put on with the engine on no prob

email me & Ill draw & scann something

or call me

Picture #1 What I wish I was capable of.

Picture #2 What I will probably do. You have to imagine the frame white though.

 

[Dan]

Seca, we are always our own worst and most unkind critics. That frame is already art. This one will be perfect, until you build the next. I look forward to see both.

I just wanted to comment on your choice of words
its nice that there is a place for extreme tinkerers to come, appreciate each others work & be supportive of one another
take care

Thanks Dan.


Just one thing. If I use this paint scheme, are people going to think I'm a Texan?





























Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Seriously though, will they?

"cause I really want them to think I'm Captain America.

 

[jasonh]

When I saw your scheme I instantly thought Captain America. Didn't realize the Texas flag looked like that.

Maybe make sure you have more than just a couple stripes?

 

[Dan]

Red, white and blue would look great, IMHO. Would have that "Easy rider" look.

 

[chipmcluk]

Just use more than one star, and it'd be impossible to confuse it with the "lonestar" states flag.

 

[xPosTech]

Ain't no way that dinky lil star on your tank would confuse a Texan.

Lead on, Captain. You got point.
