HAHA! Good question. No purple. Depending on what color I decide on for the tins this frame will either be gloss red or silver vein like the WB.

|
|
lol..that sounds cool.im nowhere near paint but already thinking about what im going to do...having a hard time deciding if i wana do black or some shade of purple for the frame...  jk

Silver frame definately sounds cool, especially if you could find someone who's good with an airbrush you could do some red tins with silver flames
 Just tell me when you want me to shutup with my ideas for your bike, lol

Shut up with ideas???Never. I need all the help i can get. The silver vein PC is actually very dark,but it has a cool hammered look to it. It is actually a real dark gun metal with silver veins running through it.Now,an actual silver frame...that IS a good idea. Hmmmm,heavy metal flake perhaps?

I gotcha, honestly had no idea that was the color you were talking about. I think that would be good on a bike that will be rough around the edges and that is meant to look tough, I envision your bike to be more of a badass race mixed breed bike, was also thinking if u know someone who's good with an airbrush if u did the frame silver you could do some faded black leafing along the frame, if it were me I would do some ghost skulls all over the frame, but that's just me

One of the pics you posted had a throttle control without any switches on it. I've been looking for something like this for the CB900 I'm looking for. I was also wondering it it could be used as a cluth control to clean up the bars a little.

Oh,okay.I gotcha now. I dont know where that throttle control came from originally. Slownugly007 ( a member here) just donated that to this build out of the blue! I never thought it using it as a clutch. I guess you could use it as a clutch,twist actuated.Cool idea! I do have a clutch lever with no switches on it I was trying to sell if you are interested.

that would be so hard to ride...
|
|

The throttle is a side exit push/pull from dime city. Hmmm a twist clutch?? I bet that would be a little tricky to ride...cool idea though!

Harley used to make a small bike that the throttle,clutch and gears were all operated by one hand. The throttle was the typical twist.
-Twist throttle to go
-Un twist throttle
-Pull in clutch lever on same bar end
-rotate entire assy to shift gear
-rotate back to starting point
-relaese clutch
-cuss,swear and repeat.
Could you imagine taking off? Slipping the clutch and giving throttle at the same time?!?! my Dad had one as a kid. Crazy stuff.

Best way to get parts! Was planning on the duel twists jer the looks of it, any brand name on em that I coould google? I have ridden a few bikes with a twist clutch, looks cool and once you get used to it it's really not that bad.

That's some pretty nice looking scrap.

lookin good bro..did you buy those pieces already bent or did you bend them youreself?what size tubing?where did you get them?
|
|
|
damn, that stuff is much cheaper than buying an exhaust, you think 4 of those would be enough to make a complete 4 into 4 exhaust?
|

Hellbilly, four would probably do it. I used two u-bends to get the pipes were they are now,so four should da a standard 4-4 no problem. They have another set of misc. bends for about $75-80 you can get.Probably what I should have got,but these come down off the head nicely. Attaching them to your exhaust flanges is something you gotta come up with though. I'm cheating big time and welding mine directly to my spigots,not sure what you would need to do with the other style.
|
|
|
why do you need to weld them to the spigots?the outside diameter of the spigots is 1.5 inch correct?..what the i.d. of that tubing?will it slide on the spigot?
