bike pics and video

You know, normally I'm not into chopped bikes but something about yours really speaks to me. It's frigging cool. Replies like "Armageddon" and "Don't ride near the retirement village" are spot-on. I love it.

I especially like the asymmetry- the pipes on one side, and the ammo box on the other. Keep the rust, replace the "YICS" covers and keep rolling it.

 

It's 8" out, 1" up, stock rake. She's in hibernation for the winter, behind a bunch of crap in the garage, come spring I can shoot the inside of the box. Thanks for the kind words everyone, I'm currently under 6" of snow, dying for a 80 degree day--- right now it's 11.

 

Is that a 30 cal or 50 cal ammo can? Do you have your battery in there as well as the brain box?

 

That exhaust is knarley, I dig the bike as a whole too. Kinda the Mad Max - Road Warrior thing goin on.

 

Thanks, guys. I'm not sure what caliber ammo the can is from, but the battery fits pretty perfect in there, as well as the igniter, fusebox. I have the regulator mounted outside for cooling purposes. I got the box for $5 at the local surplus store. I'm thinking of painting it, but it's getting warmer, and just wanna ride.

 

Yeah it's a 30 cal I think, cuz I bought one and started putting it together and you're right everything fits perfectly. I 'm going to mount mine on the right side because my license plate and tail light are on the left.

 

So, is that a tree house back there behind your bike? How did you....just kidding. LOL
Those pipes rock! Sounds good at idle, but I don't think I would enjoy them out on the open road however (that's just me) I really like what you did with it and I'm sure it turns some heads when your out and about.

 

This makes me want to get out my grinder and go at my bike in the worst way!

 

Be proud of that build. Love it or hate it it's an awesome accomplishment.
You know your kid's going to want that in a few years...

 

Thanks guys. Yeh the treehouse is pretty awesome, 2 level, the top one is about 15ft from the ground, my boy loves it.

Here's a pic of what I've done to the bike over the past couple days. Just a little paint.

 

It is a fact that your XJ was one of the first I seen on youtube when I was scoping out the one I currently own... I was impressed then. I was reluctant to accept what you were doing to it when I seen the gallery with the frame mods in progress... but I should have known you'd come out on the other end with something inventive and amazing. Kudos, sir!

 

Awesom finish with paint, though it sort of mellows it a bit, not sure if thats a good thing

 

Any updates on the build? Im curious to see how it turned out!

 

Dude thats SICK.... and I LIKE IT!!

 

It currently looks like this, a little dirtier though.

 

wow kev, your bike has come a long way. Its lookin awesome man.

 

I'm imagining fire coming up out of your pipes, but that might not be a bonus if you're sitting on it. Really wild.

 

HELLUVA scooter, from one end to the other!!! Myself, the spikes on the tank was the first thing I noticed and liked. I just know it wasn't blind dumb luck, so any tips on how it runs so well without rejetting for the believers in the audience...

Hey, that is an awesome bike. I like the headlights how'd you make mount on tree?

 

They just mount on a piece of flat steel stock attached to what used to be the mounting point for the clocks.
