Hey guys and gals. Been a lurker on the site for a while since I didn't really have much to post/contribute. Until now. I've had a few projects over the years, some that died on the vine, but have mentally-designed hundreds of bikes (don't we all?). This past summer I grew more and more desperate to get back into the scene after a rough step-out from motocross (longer story). So here it is.
Managed to score this bike from a local shop. It's already well on its way to where I want to take it. Was planning on buying an ironhead donor but this one already had the hardtail, oil tank, and drum rear setup I was after.
I have a bunch of parts stock-piled for it too, bought specifically for this project. Got a narrow 12 over springer, tall risers, drag bars, the grips and controls, wheels, tires, spacers, exhaust, gas tank, neck cup kit, and a few other nic-nacs. All of it ready to go. Doing my own engraving, paint, pinstripe, and basic fab. Should be interesting.
Got massive respect for ChopCult and the CC community. So I figured I'd start a thread to join the party. Also got the instagram going @bpeak82 and a youtube channel "bpeak82" doing videos of the purchase, parts, build, fab, etc. I am by NO MEANS a shop or good fabricator or anything. Just an average schmo trying to make something cool to ride.
Much more to come. Cheers!
