Great build on the homepage.
You know, there was a bell tied to my more recent purchase. Have you got any idea what that's all about.
A road bell?

Yep it is a "Ride Bell" it is used to keep the gremlins at bay, something about the noise of the bell drives them mad and they cover their ears and end up falling off the bike. I have one, only problem is during the WV rally the falling gremlin desperately held onto my shift lever and pulled it off the bike :shock: found it about 1/4 mile back.

ha ha,
yeah, that's not even comfortable for wheeling it up and down the driveway, but it's fun to have on there to keep the rain out of the electrical. 8-[ the pommel is too wide to really ride it anywhere tho.
I've never taken it a full mile at a time yet, still getting it sorted out, but coming along!! I hope to add some padding and leather to the sign seatpan. I don't know what the fender is, I found it at a recycling place in the yard, dented and marked up with a pink autobody marker... hammered out the bend with a rubber mallet, its not "pretty" per se, but it gives that flair.
there are round holes, oblong holes, holes with tabs in them, even a big square hole... I doubt I'll go to all the trouble to glass it or paint it, it's kindof a mockup, buit maybe if the bike runs for a few years I'll touch it up...
I might go so far as to cut that rear frame strut and caq the ends, i like the look you got bopi!! the way it is now tho I can go fully back to stock if I wanted. (or if someone else wanted...)Last edited by Guest; 08-21-2007, 12:27 AM.
