MY 82 Budget Bike (pics)

I can't say it's finished because it'll never be finished. I'm eliminating the gauges and big giant headlight in favor of a bullet headlight and single speedo. I'm even considering stretching it in the future.

The rear fender is actually two 6" boat trailer fenders welded together.
Side panels are custom made also.
Gas tank mount was dropped down a little.
Engine removed and painted semi-gloss black.
Bought forward controls (liked them too much)
Custom made license plate mount.
After market turn signals (which don't blink) any ideas how to get them to work?
Tell me what you think?

 

diggin it!

 

Sweet, like the side covers.
You need an oil pressure gauge like mine hanging off the side.
Well done.

Gunna get some stickers designed too..

 

Sweet. I am loving the side covers. Very innovative idea on the fender.

 

Cool, nice bike.
You will have to replace the stock flasher with a electronic one available at most autoparts stores. A two prong flasher will plug in and work in place of the 3 prong original unit. If you want to keep your autocancel function working you will have to modify a 3 prong flasher. Search Gamuru's posts, he has a nice instructions on how to modify.

 

One HELLOFA job!!! Was noticing how engine highlights showed up in the paint on your tank (NICE paint job)...

i love the entire bike...nicely done (or not done if you insist). i really like the look of the ginormous headlight but i would like to see it photo-shopped with a bullet headlight
keep up the good work, post pics often as yer steed is a beauty

cheers

 

I like it. I think a front fender that matched the rear would pull it toghether a little more, but it's your bike, not mine. Looks good and looks like you put some serious time into it. WELL DONE.

 

Props.

 

Nice work!!!!!!!! Enjoy it now

 

Beautiful! I really like the color, that's what my goal is.

 

Great looking bike. Search turn signal or flasher relay for your blinkers. There's some write ups on how to try to clean terminals to get yours working or even how to replace with one from Autozone/Advance Auto etc... That's what i did and it works great, but you lose the auto cancel feature.

Good luck!

 

I absolutely love the meshing you've used to cover the holes in the rear frame. Awesome!

 

sweeeeeeeeeet! diggin every detail. wish i could do somthin like that to mine.

 

Beautiful. Job Well done sir!

 

im not usually 1 for the bobber look but it looks really good black and silver really go good together

 

That bike is just plain sexy! beautiful....

 

Thanks guys. The side panels are held on by tiny allen bolts with the nuts welded on back side. I will check up on the flasher situation.
