Reviving the Doodle Bug :devil2:

The would make it a mini Boss Hog, then....
I should know better by now, then leave room for PoBoy interpretations. Lol

Well.....that was a really nice try....and I commend the "out of the box thinking"......but......a "Boss" engine is a 351W block with those deep breathing 351C heads.....and not a stroker.....an otherwise normal motor....with a crankshaft that has a little more "throw"......and the parts to make it it work....

BESIDES......."Hog???????".....Hmmmmmmm......maybe "middle management litle pig......"??????

Went ahead and bent sissy bar from 3/8 rod.

 

[2SlickNick]

I bent the 3/8 steel rod around a 6" diameter pipe ( support column in garage ) .

I then decided I did not want to attach it like a traditional sissy bar. So I drilled two 3/8" holes into the tube ( Pic 1). That way I can weld it at the bottom and the top of the holes and maybe to the tube part of the frame.

Pic 2 just how it will sit.....

I would like some of your thoughts of ....How the tail should flow?

Like pic:

3 or 4

....Yeah. ...that's why you do it your garage instead of a pub......

I did that for a while. .....it was a lot of fun. .....when you need trips to go out....it can get pretty intense. ......

The darts were my daughter's doing. I am pretty good.
after looking at the pics I am starting to favor the longer curved tail.

Thanks I just painted the tAil red. I will do fenders in redand the frame in black.

 

[2SlickNick]

Frame is colored, but still needs clear coats.

Primed......

Should discourage tailgaters.

 

[Poboy kartman]

Should discourage tailgaters.

A quick brake-check would probably discourage them permanently! !!!!

If you mount that tail on a pivot, it could wag at road speed. 'Course then all those church ladies would follow you home so they could save you.

The Doodle
Frame and fenders painted.
I still need to order the engine mount adapter from Hot Rod MiniBikes and this air filter...http://www.ebay.com/itm/58mm-60mm-K...Parts_Accessories&hash=item2c8b6251c2&vxp=mtr Since the air filter from BMI is too large and rubs fender.

Need to also purchase some odds and ends, but will update when more progress happens.

That's looking nice, Nick. Are you doing anything with the exhaust, or staying stock?
