[BAMBY]

i always like to see the final finished product! shows what all the hard work was for
keep it comin ray

 

[Raywelder]

Hey guys!
I fixed the shaft problem, and got everything put back together.
I have just been lazy on the updates, and lazy on pictures too lol.
but these last two weeks I havent been able to get a whole lot done due too some family stuff.
But I did pick up a nice solo seat for 15bucks.
Gotta love yard sales.

 

[freakboy]

can you get some pics of the seat man?

 

[Raywelder]

 

[EagleTalons]

That's awesome! Have you test drove it yet?

Not yet, Seat and tank are just sitting there for the moment...
Haven't had too much time to mount them. Been too busy.



But the seat does make it look good.

 

[skid20]

[freakboy]

It freakin looks great.

 

[BriggsTwins]

Ohhhh so this is rays bike. Words wont describe my envy, but hey! its a shaft drive... and you have the hub for the rear end, just twist the engine!! leave it be im jk!

fantastic job

 

[freakboy]

Hey ray you need to hurry the hell up on this thing ahaha u need it finished soon i wana see it in action!

 

[Raywelder]

Started a fender from scratch, I'm nearly done with it already.
Bought a xs1100 tank that will fit it wayy better, Before I was using a xs850 tank that didnt fit the frame quite right, this new tank was a great deal, No dents!
Will look wayyy better.

Also bought a Mandrel bend kit, so I'm hoping to get exhaust done soon.
Gonna have my Bro recover my seat in tooled leather!

Planning on hitting it pretty hard before christmas,
I just have been so darn busy on other stuff.

 

[kazkepox]

ooh can we have some pics of a tank mockup? and just wondering, when you say christmas you gonna give it to somebody lol?

 

[Raywelder]

NO, Its gonna be mine.
but i will get some pics of the new tank soon, it will probably look almost the same to you guys, its gonna look better to me cause I know how poorly the other one fits.

I would have done so a day or so, I havent been able to make it out to work, for 2 days now, and I have a ton of stuff to do.

 

[kazkepox]

I can't wait to see this done, this is an inspiration to my bike and my kart. (my kart because ill be getting a v-twin lol)

 

[Raywelder]

pics of it with my nearly done fender and different tank.
Also got my exhaust bends in the mail, Yayy...
The tank looks way better, lower profile, fits closer to the front so it doesn't hang of the frame.

 

[Raywelder]

Btw, can a mod Change the title to Briggs Bobber?
Or something similiar.
its no longer a mininike or go cart thread.
well, never really was.

 

[freakboy]

Looks good man! the second pic the seat looks a little uncomfy at that angle.
