Title: Re: New to this but here is my bike Post by diamond jim on 05/29/09 at 04:02:03 I thnk someone dipped your bike into a vat of flat black paint. Oretty cool. So the shotgun is the gear shifter. Is it removable? Doesn't show in the first pic. |

Title: Re: New to this but here is my bike Post by joshuamidwest on 05/29/09 at 04:16:43 the first pic was before the suicide shift, and yes i did it myself and a friend before me did some of the work. |

Title: Re: New to this but here is my bike Post by joshuamidwest on 05/29/09 at 04:17:45 next week it will have black fork boots on it, the wheels and hubs will be copper with black spokes and it will have the seat pan wrapped in brown leather with "dead by dawn" on it |

Title: Re: New to this but here is my bike Post by Savage Eddie on 05/29/09 at 06:15:49 im also likin it! it defiantly has character, i love the old school bob look and i like the cut job on the rear fender frame mount. i havent cut mine cause i wasnt sure where to cut yet.....this may answer that question... again....good job lets talk about that exhaust......you have a baffle in there are are you runnin open? how do you like shifting while laying across the tank with the forward handlebars? |

Title: Re: New to this but here is my bike Post by Rocco on 05/29/09 at 07:19:29 i think it's wicked! rob zombie would be proud of this one(very black sunshine-ish!) it's gotta be lowered right? i kinda like the riding position, not for me...yet! |

Title: Re: New to this but here is my bike Post by SavageDanny on 05/29/09 at 08:33:43 I like. I see the shotgun shifter and see that the clutch lever is not on the handlebar. Could you please clue me in on where your clutch is? |
|
Title: Re: New to this but here is my bike Post by marshall13 on 05/29/09 at 08:34:50 here in south florida, that shotty shifter would get a deputy to put a cap in you on a late night run in the "wrong area"... food for thought. more than a couple outlaws, and gypsy jokers have been shot for "a suspicious move" while going to shift a seat of the pants rig...not that i dont like your ride, it's "bobber-licious". excellent job!! |
|
Title: Re: New to this but here is my bike Post by mikestrikes on 05/29/09 at 08:41:03 I LIKE IT ~ Less the shifter. Paint on the tubes that go "IN" the fork seals I was thinking the same thing on the handle bars, clubman style bars turnd around and pointed forward !!!! |

Im not leaned over very far and it isnt too bad, the exhaust has no baffle in it it has been stripped out and it actually sounds really really good very loud and deep not like you would think. and the sub frame is realy really cut and we had to weld two pins on the back to hold the seat springs ( aka valve springs held on with washers) |

The clutch for the time being is on the right pedal no real brake, buutttt that was just a quick fix we are taking the front discs off and putting the clutch as my brake handle and just have a rear brake |

Title: Re: New to this but here is my bike Post by marshall13 on 05/29/09 at 09:10:22 just noticed, your shifter is mounted to your swing arm... aint that gonna "bump shift" your gears if you hit a pothole? or did you anticipate that and match the arcs? |

Title: Re: New to this but here is my bike Post by mikestrikes on 05/29/09 at 09:22:18 DUDE ! I have that very same shotgun.......... it was my great grand dad's.... it doesn't have a firing pin nor whould I ever want to shoot the old raggedy thing... does yours have ANY numbers on it ? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v610/orange-appeal/pics-1.jpg |

Title: Re: New to this but here is my bike Post by Rocco on 05/29/09 at 10:33:15 lol princess of darkness! awesome! and i thought Backfire was cool! i wish i could get the kit that shoots flames out of the exhaust, cool on cars, probably stupid on a bike !!!! :o |

Title: Re: New to this but here is my bike Post by Duane on 05/29/09 at 10:48:28 I like some of it. Looked better before the total blacked out treatment IMHO. I also don't care for the shifter. It would get you shot by the law where I live in a minute. |
|
Title: Re: New to this but here is my bike Post by John_D on 05/29/09 at 12:10:24 My first thought was Mad Max. ;D The Evil Dead motif is very cool too, I like the look of it. I like the shotgun, but one way or another it'd probably get me killed, either by my inability to suicide shift, or by the Portland police! :o |
|
Title: Re: New to this but here is my bike Post by joshuamidwest on 05/29/09 at 13:35:36 ha yeah it is what it is and i live in the midwest so i think ill be good wihth it being a gun. I think the wheels getting donw will make it look alot better I mean you can only polish a turd so much |

Title: Re: New to this but here is my bike Post by Rocco on 06/02/09 at 10:10:27 i'm with u on the "nothin pretty needed" i really don't like when there's too much chrome or the rider wipes it off everytime he gets off....a little wear and tear shows character(i have a small ding in my tank and i like the one in yours!) and loud is always good! mine is decently loud and the backfire is louder, my friend's shadow is tame compared to my beast! and to me and my fellow metalheads, beast is a compliment!! lol |

Title: Re: New to this but here is my bike Post by DavetheDog on 06/02/09 at 14:18:52 I'm on the fence like a few others. I'm feelin' the handlebars in the matte black. Slick, though I seem to like it best in the shot next to the truck and the dog. It looks raw though and that is a bonus. Do you wear all black when you ride? The shotgun kinda looks like a toy to me IMHO. I'm not diggin it too much. What about something else to match the theme of the bike more. IDK, maybe a thick chain with the links welded together. IDK, just an idea. Def. stands out though and I dig the pipes alot. I like the taper at the end. But mostly those handlebars are the sh*t. |

Title: Re: New to this but here is my bike Post by mikeo on 06/02/09 at 19:38:26 Forget the bike, I'm diggin' the chick. She is totally hot! ;) |

Title: Re: New to this but here is my bike Post by Savage_Amusement on 06/02/09 at 20:25:07 I've seen a few guys around with the flame kit. Works a lot better on longer pipes that extend away from and up ward. |

Title: Re: New to this but here is my bike Post by il67bp on 06/02/09 at 21:43:34 SICK. |

Title: Re: New to this but here is my bike Post by ralfyguy on 06/03/09 at 01:34:49 Mine doesn't need a flame kit. At dusk whenever I let off the throttle and rpm's are dropping 2,500, it backfires hard and a 4-6" blue flame shoots out of the tail pipe. It only does it at 2,500 rpm. |
