LOL....Look out Timmy, Here I come!!!! This started out as a wheekend project (yeah right!!) and after a week and a weekend and a half.....it's finished!!! I used the hardtail frame, and the longer more raked forks, the billit rims, and I bobbed both fenders, painted it HOK Razberry pearl, and made a few aluminum goodies (the velocity stack w/real screen filter inside, exaust tips, and the spiked gas cap) I also made the handle bars out of aluminum rod. The cool idea I had for it was the heat wrap on the pipes, I went to Wally World, and scoped out all the surgical tape, and found one with the perfect texture, and cut strips , and wraped 'em up, then used some photo-etch sprue to make all the clamps....pretty kool huh? Enjoy the photo's.....John B.      |

Thanks for all the great feedback guys!!! These bike kits are becoming a big hit, and pretty fun to build too (just ask Tim.....lol)

[glow=red,2,300]WOW!!!!![/glow]  Beautiful work John!!! Are these bike kits a blast or what???! Great find on the medical tape idea!! Looks just like the big boyz! These kits do look so real when finished, and for 10 bucks you can't beat em'! How about offering up some of those velocity stacks as an aftermarket item? I'd buy some! I really don't like the ones with the kits, although the skull is OK. I'd like so see someone cast a decent carb for them too! Any takers? Joe d. is working on a MAJOR super-secret project for these bikes. I talked to him yesterday about it, and when it's done, it will blow your minds!! Your paintwork is spot-on! Gorgeous!! crank out some more!!! |
