Gunpowder

So I wanted a bike that would shatter taboos and end world war III. What better way than with a vintage Japanese bike? So what's the plan you ask? How about a 300 rear tire? How about a 24 over girder front end? What about a crazy flame sculpted gas tank? Does that do anything for you? It does something for me... But it's indecent to talk about it...


Starting out with a 78 cb 750 frame, sandblasted except for the neck because it couldn't fit in the blast cabinet.

Blast cabinet... I like the sound of that...

First order of business... Get rid of the gay bars...





With the gay bars gone and the motor in so I could visualize the rake and stretch needed to accomplish such an epic bike i visualize the end result. Can you see the vision? Please, close your eyes... Do you see Thor riding across an apocalyptic land? His blond locks blowing in the wind? In his wake he leaves flowers and sunshine, rainbows and doves. Beautiful.

sissy mostly done


fatherinlaw helped me out big time and finished it up while i was at home taking care of business (i.e hanging out with wife and kids)...still have some finish welding and grinding to do and i'm looking for some sort of cross to put up in the diamond, but this is a huge step for my bike...i'm super happy with how it came out...can't wait for it to not be 4degrees outside so that i feel like riding
