Don't care to much for the looks of the bike, but i do love the fuck you mentality of the build.
Building your own shit to fit your own needs, great stuff there.

Alright, I concede. For a 'created' rat/survival bike, that is pretty fucking sweet. I've seen the tank setup before but it's hard to pull off. You managed it. And the lycette style saddle, looks great. Kudos man.

Every couple of days I swing by this thread hoping for a glimpse into a dark future where warriors on machines that burn gasoline go tearing across urban sprawl on their way to the wasteland to do battle. Today I was not disappointed, Toe Cutter and the Nightrider would approve.

Connected the lights today; main, rear and the (indicators ? ) from a truck.
I wanted BIG (indicators ? ) just becuase "every body else" try to keep them as small as they can I like to use blue parking bulbs in the front, looks real cool in the dark

My god this thing is the monster thats hiding under the bed! I really wanted to do something like this to the GSXR I used to have but the cam tensioners failed on me before I got the chance to really go crazy with it. I liked the tail light when you put it up earlier, now seeing it mounted I like it even more! Keep the pictures coming and please post up a few full bike views before you saddle up to go do battle in the wasteland in May.

This bike says volumes about the difference between "rats" and "streetfighters"
Probably all that needs to be said re.
..Except that Penttis' is might be called a "RatFghter." Because it's somewhere imbetween. In-your-face attitude fo'sho but doesn't look like dirt.
