Well finaly had some time to work on one of my personal projects the last two weekends. Thought I would show you what I have been working on. The project at hand is my 113 inch no up no out custom motorcycle. Started with a nice no up no out santee frame 113" s&s engine 6 speed transmission 2 under chrome springer. I built the tank a few months ago got almost all of the pipes done this weekend just have to mount the custom built muffler. ![]() Last edited by bastard; 12-28-2008 at 06:41 PM. |

NIIICE! There's to many cool things a guy can have. Among many other things,I'd love to have an old school custom bike. A guy definitly gets spoiled having acess to good tools. Now that I work in a shop,I HATE building stuff at home. ![]() Last edited by Reflection; 12-28-2008 at 06:49 PM. |

And the pipes I am finishing up right now. They are made from mild steel 1.75 u-bends. There is ten weld seams in this set of pipes. I have about 25 ours in the pipes and the custom muffler that I finished up today.

| ![]() Only two completes this year witch are both mine. But have done the fab work on like 6-7 this year. I wish I could do just bikes there is alot less work that goes in to one then doing a complete car. Like my current project , restoring a 1959 El Camino.

113 + Super G (guessing) + that tank = 50 mile range ![]() Great looking bike, going to take a lot to keep the rear tire calm. |

Dude you do some badass work! How big is your garage? Looks decent. Why are you friends with Jason? You seem so much cooler than him. I say you rock the bike without a seat. That would be straight up hardcore.

Sweet bike, I really like the mid controls. Much better than all that OCC style stuff.

That is just DOPE. I love the bobber style bikes. I'd like to build one someday, I think I could pull it off. Well, not making my own tanks and pipes and whatnot. You have skills, man. Those pipes turned out nice. I think I could assemble a bike and make it run though. And make some of the simpler things like footpegs and stuff. One of these days. I just need a way to fund it... |

I built one a few years back. I don't use it much for full frames it just takes to much time to build one and customers don't want to pay for it. But it does come in handy for stretching frames or raking necks. Hope to get some more done on it this weekend and post some more picks. | |

Nice line Aaron. I like the dropped springer and the tire sizes you used. I always dig low, minimalist bikes with the subtle details that make you do a double take. Clean work on the exhaust and I like the way it hugs the motor and mates with the right side controls. Jay |
