68 bsa chopper barnfind

Oh Yeah, opened the mail box today and found some Ramblin' Fever stickers. Thanks guys for the freebe. BTW whats up with this awesome Brit.

Glad you like the stickers
We've been pretty slammed at work all week so we haven't worked on the bike much. I think Boots is going to this weekend.

Wow, all the engraving and everything? That's amazing. Have fun bringing her back to life. See ya on the road.

helped date the original build


I am not planning on running this tank so it made its way on to the wall and will probably stay there for a while but it was really cool to see all the psychadelic prisms and lightning bolts and shit. Makes me wonder how stoned the original build was.

I would run it with the old paint and all... some history there.. very cool.

Hey ckecked out your blog CBCS this morning. Very impressed by the support for the black history month, and the way your opnion's were presented about the contribution they have made to the USA.
I am now following your great blog.
So best of luck with the BSA, they don't come around very often. U have abunch of folks on the edge of there tree stumps watching it unfold.

Thanks man, that means alot. I'll do my best tog et off my stump and get some work done.

word. All I ever find in the garage are mice turds.

Pretty cool that you were able to save the tank's original paint. Kinda reminded me that one of the original Captain America bikes was stolen just before the movie (Easy Rider) was completed. Assuming the bike was "parted", some dude is probably riding around with the original tank, with the original paint, covered up by someone else's paint. Wouldn't that be a trip finding that tank!

Good luck on the build. it is looking great so far!

Hey guys what the fuck? You knucks out having snow ball fights instead of working on cool ass BSA chops or what?

We've been real busy with work and I was moving, Everything was almost at a normal pace again, but now we're getting ready for a swap meet 10 hours away on April 3rd because theres none closer. I think were gonna do some stuff this weekend, Im sure Boots will post something

What the hell has happened here has this thread died?

I say stick with the original tank man...you'de have a cool story behind it, and it doesnt look half bad

I picked up a tank and a fender from a swap this weekend so the ball is back rolling. When you live a million miles away from anything cool projects take time and I'd rather it take me a decade and be happy with it then rush it on the road for street cred. I'll post some pictures of the stuff right away here.

here's the new tank and fender I picked up this weekend. I also did my taxes so I will be putting new shoes on her right quick. Now that I have a tank that I want to run I can get back to work on the rest of the aesthetic stuff

sad face i miss the bitchin red tank. that thing was sick!

too sick to strip and repaint. it sits up in the corner of the CBCS shop. I just can't get down with a red bike.

well when you put it that way i totally understand. if only the old original tank was a different color. what color are you goin with it?

yeah that thing is righteous. I think I am gonna go white. I inherited a little paasche airbrush set up so I am assuming there will be lots of psychadelic shit going on but the bike will be mostly white. Brrrrrr White Lightening!

killer find, you lucky dog

if anyone knows where I could get some 6 bend pullbacks and a couple aris style triangle lights let me know! thanks.
