THE PLANNING IN THE BEGINING IS THE BIG PAY OFF AS THE PROJECT BEGINS TO TAKE SHAPE. WE KNOW THE OVERALL LOOK OF THE BIKE WE WANT AND THE PARTS ARE COMING IN AND WE WILL MAKE SOME SPECIAL PIECES AS WE GO.
WHEN I FIRST MET ROLAND IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT THIS WAS A MAN WHO HAD THOUGHT ABOUT THIS AND HAD A PLAN AS TO WHAT KIND OF BIKE HE WANTED. HE HAD A PRETTY GOOD CONCEPT OF THE LOOK HE LIKED, WHY HE WANTED IT AND WHEN. AFTER A FEW MEETINGS AND FURTHER DISCUSSION ABOUT IT WE BOTH FELT COMFORTABLE AND AGREED TO PROCEED WITH THE PROJECT. SO HERE ARE SOME PICS OF IT AS SHE BEGINGS TO TAKE SHAPE. AS WITH ANY PROJECT THE BASE HAS TO COME FIRST AND FOR THIS WE HAVE PICKED AN RC COMPONENTS FRAME STRETCHED UP AND OUT. AS ROLAND KEPT SAYING...GET THAT FRONT END OUT THERE....AN SO IT SHALL BE!!
THIS TANK IS 22 INCHES LONG AND CANNOT BE USED ON A FRAME THAT IS LESS THAN A 3 INCH STRETCH IN THE BACKBONE. IT HAS SOME NICE FEATURES SUCH AS THE FLUSH MOUNT GAS CAP. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICS IT IS PRETTY SLICK AND DEFFINATELY THE OLD SCHOOL CHOPPER TYPE PEANUT TANK ONLY LONGER AND HOLDS MORE FUEL THAN THE OLD ONES DID.
PRO ONE BEAUTIFUL TREES HOLD THE FRONT END ON AND ARE VERY SLICK WITH NO TOP NUT AND THE SIGNAL LIGHTS BUILT RIGHT INTO THE BOTTOM TREE. TOPPED OFF WITH A SET OF NESS "V" BARS, NESS DIAMOND GRIPS,NESS HEADLIGHT AND ALL CHROME CONTROLS AND SWITCHS. VERY SMOOTH....VERY CLEAN!
