I wish I would of documented this better, as it was pretty fun. I also wish I hadn’t sold this bike. I had bought the bike years ago as a major project… It was in pieces. But it was cheap and I thought trying to figure out where the parts go would keep me occupied for a while.
I kept working at it, and finally it started looking like a motorcycle instead of a plastic tote full of parts. I painted the body covers with spray paint – they actually came out looking pretty good for rattle can.
I found a set of Jardine open pipes on ebay. The paint was failing, so I just wrapped them with header wrap and painted the ends with Bar-B-Q paint. I also added a very small tail light and tiny turn signals I purchased off ebay. They were almost useless they were so small, but they looked good. My thought the build were minimalist – remove everything you don’t need and make what you keep smaller and lighter. This way you look like you strapped a seat to an engine! I was trying to figure out a springer seat – but never got there…
In the end it was: hard riding, obnoxiously loud, smelled like gas, kinda dangerous. I miss it!
