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

me and my sissy

went over to my father in laws huge garage yesterday and he helped me build a sissy bar...well get started on it, we didn't get to finish it, and by help me i mean he did 90% of the work and i just said "yup, that looks good" on the ride over i noticed a lot of noise from the left exhaust, inspection during riding revealed my bolt must have vibrated off...further inspection showed this big ass crack...then i cleaned all the baked on oil and crap (even further inspection) and saw that this pipe was held together by about 3/4 of an inch of metal...is it possible that i'm using threadlock incorrectly...duh
here is his current project, he is kind of a mad scientist of vw bugs, this is going to be some sort of lowered and chopped top with a truck bed

this is the only pic i took of the sissy bar progress, its not going to be quite that tall and it will have a diamond thingy on the top...i'm super excited to have a read fender

DIY perfection (as far as i'm concerned)

blue tape (laying around garage), black spray paint (walmart), lace (walmart), silvery spray paint (walmart), some long and skinny paintbrush (hobby lobby), silvery blueish enamel paint (hobby lobby), and kids zonked out it bed (birds and bees)...and you get what you see here...its not perfect, but it was fun

next week: DIY tattoos...supplies will include brady (TWFMco), roofies (corner of MLK blvd and 5th)......
