Still got quite a few things to do to it, as it stands it was a rush job to get me to the rally:
Still to do:
Fit home made luggage rack to front mudguard (from my old bike)
Fit two nice big 7" headlamps or that big ugly fairing, dunno yet.
Fit a rear-rack for luggage, or maybe a sissy bar like on my old bike (great for
carrying luggage)
Make and fit an engine cage, basic functional one made from 1" box section.
Fill in the rear wheel.
Fit the animal spine and ammo-can tool box from my old bike.
Fit some fork gaiters made from an old innertube.
Fix the steering problem, which may or may not be frame related?!?

ill admit I love bobbers and as a avid rock crawler I'm a fan of the saying "chrome dont get you home" few things you need to clean up thought just cuz its a ratbike doesn't meen you gotta sacrifice safety IE brake and clutch. I dig the stitched front fender adds some character. need to clean it a tad and you got a winner. nice job looks better than alot of the run of the mill fighter crowd

idk man maybe just me but the fairing is awesome to me! it ties in the total i dont give a **** throw on what i got laying around look. and that fairing is so odd it just gives the bike even more character to me. the other street fighter's look so clean and so "look at me im a street fighter im cool but everything is pristine". your pile of **** actually looks like a pile of **** ahhaahahaa but i say that with love. i dont know i guess it is like the good dr. calling frenkenstien his son.
that fat *** wide fairing with that tiny seat and stitched together front fender are just soo... classically cool.

post some pics with the ammp can tool box. and please mount it with some duct tape so i can havea good laugh.. or a couple zip ties finished off with some duct tape.. but also run out of duct tape and finish up the job with some black electrical tap,, but run out just in time to finish off with some scotch tape. omg that would be soo classic.

WOW! How did i miss this thread? Are you actually riding that thing? I actually like it, and have thought about doing something similar if i can find a junker for the right price.
I'm not overly safety conscious but i would properly fix the shifter and rear brake lever. Need to redo the exhaust so that it free-flows, the front cylinder can not be breathing very well and reducing performance. Please do not use that fairing as it does not fit the theme of your bike. I liked the small headlight also.

Don't listen to these guys. Keep the fairing, paint it flat black with some fake blood smears and put on the gatling gun exhaust tip, then get an old worn out handgun holster from a yard sale or pawn shop and hang it off the side of the seat and leave it empty and maybe an old sword scabbard on the other side (make people think WTF?!?!). I personally think the fairing finishes off the effect of the bike and would leave it myself.
For some reason I just think this bike is the SHAT!!! Maybe it's the Malice in me.
