Nice Job.

Post by David » Sat May 19, 2012 5:17 pm

I came across a motorcycle that a person in town has. I have seen it before and I thought it was nice. This time I went and asked the owner if I could take some pictures of it to share it with others, since I know there a couple of bike fans here. He allowed me to take pictures of his bike and he informed me that he actually has been building the bike himself, for the past 5 years.

He did built the frame and most of the work himself. The rims he had them custom made and then added the wood wrapped around the wheels and grips. He breaded the different lines with cow hide/leather. I am sure there is most of the labor that he did I am forgetting to mention. He has his own metal work shop where he makes gates and other metal items.

I hope you guys enjoy them. I thought he did a killer job.

I had to reduce the pictures because when I tried download them, I got an error that the file was "invalid". I reduced the picture and it was fine (eventhough there is a cap of 3 pictures per post :( )

Thanks for the pics, David. That fellow has built a very nice custom sled. 8)

I like his design for the front forks, and his unique solution to their fitment onto the little arm that attaches to the front axle. He has executed a number of unique styling ideas too; ones that I have not seen before. :D
I'm a man........but I can change........if I have to........I guess
