A friend wants a stripped down sort of rat tank bike similar to my jalopy.
This is a good start, stay tuned.

Gonna need a set of crusty tank panels for this build. Anyone have a set?

I’ve sourced a set of rims and hubs, another springer fork, a seat, and a crankset so far. Need tank panels, mid rise handlebars, and maybe a porkchop hub for the front wheel.

I decided to keep the springer for my next build. Painted the blade forks black, and clear coated the crusty frame today. My friend likes the frame as is. Going to let him decide on chrome or painted wheels. Almost everything is here to complete it, just my lazy ass in the way now.

The blade forks need the threads repaired so he gets the springer. It’ll go good with his rat rod cars, I think he’ll be pleased.

I’ll try to get photos with some of his cars when I drop it off.
Edit: Still looking for a set of crusty tank panels for this bike.
