Thought I would share my "other" hobby. I am building a budget chopper I have been working off and on for a couple of years, once I made it to the mock up stage I have not wanted to take it back apart for paint. Looks to cool on the lift!

Very cool man... very cool.

Thanks man I really would like to get it finished

thats insane....looks good too -JON

that is awsome,

how much is fabricated vs pre-made components?

90% is pre-made, I don't have the skills to make it all myself. But it has been a great learning experince.

All you have to do is look at it. That should be motivation enough! because that is going to be one kick butt bike.

Thanks, The look of the bike really drew me to it. It does not look like all the rest of the choppers with the only thing that puts them apart from one and another is the fancy paint. I am thinking flat black...

how about a flat clearcoat only, i like the way it looks right now.

Funny you should suggest that, I was thinking about scuffing the metal with a steel wool pad and then clear coat it. I really like the way it looks now also. I am ready to fire it up and hear those pipes...I think I will have to coast out of the neighborhood when I go to work at six AM.

Nice - a buell mutant right?

I really like their buell blast single mutant chassis for something really different!

Or thier new mono shock VERY COOL!


NICE BIKE!

Brett you are correct, It is a Mutant Buell I think the Blast would be a great starter bike for my son, It is way cooler than a rebel.

I like the bare look too. I think Jimmy Shine just periodically goes over this '34 pickup with steel wool and WD-40.

It looks like it will never be done! Pack it up and ship it to me

Coool project

It sounds like you like the Russell Mitchell Industrial look. I think the brushed metal and black would look nice..

I think I will give that a try-I really just want to ride it at this point. That is a great looking truck

I love Exile bikes , wish I could afford to buy a wide triple tree and put a 150 tire up front.

Thanks man, Sometimes I feel like I would like to ship it somewhere.

Your triple trees look pretty wide in the pictures. I think your bike will look better than an Exile bike because it has a sportier feel.

Thanks man, The way I have to sit on that thing my back is going to have a less sporty feel. But I am just going to use it for bike nights and cruising around town.

Nice looking bike. If you really want to leave it bare, this stuff looks like it might work Gibbs Brand

Jim

Jim,

That stuff look like it is amazing, every garage should have a can! I am ording some and will let everybody know how well it works. Thanks for the tip.

Paint is highly overrated. I love it when people come up to me and the 29 sedan and ask"when are you going to paint" fuck it is painted.
Should have left the 914-6 in this color also.
If you ever want to ditch that two wheeled death machine, we have a place here at CAMP 914 for it.

I would be all over a 914-V8 or 6 trade! But it is official NO PAINT

I say paint the frame black and leave everything else brushed..
