WELL IT'S TIME TO UPDATE ANTON'S BIKE FINALLY. HIS RIDE IS BUILT IN A MID USA HARDBODY SWING ARM FRAME. THESE FRAMES ARE NICE WITH A CHOICE OF RAKE AND A LOWERED SEATING POSITION. MADE SPECIFICALLY TO RUN THE LARGE 200 x 16" REAR TIRE THEY HAVE A PLEASING LOOK. ANTON HAS BEEN WORKING AWAY SCROUNGING THE PIECES HE NEEDS FOR HIS RIDE. WHEN BUILDING SUCH A MACHINE FROM THE GROUND UP IT REQUIRES MANY HOURS WORK AND A LOT OF HAND FABRICATION. HERE'S THE BOY AT THE LATHE MAKING SOME MORE PIECES. THE MASSIVE 200 TIRE ON THE REAR, MOUNTED ON A 5" WIDE CENTERLINE WHEEL, WILL GIVE THE BIKE A WILD LOOK AS IT GOES AWAY FROM YOU. THE REAR FENDER STARTED OUT AS A 9" WIDE FLAT TYPE BUT IT HAS BEEN RAISED AND PANELED IN ON THE SIDES. A SMALL ROD WILL BE RUN COMPLETELY ALONG THE EDGES OF IT TO GIVE IT A ROLLED LOOK WHEN COMPLETE. HE HAS PLANS FOR A SMALL SISSY BAR TO BE WELDED TO THE FENDER AND IT WILL HOLD THE REAR TAIL LIGHT AND SIGNAL LIGHTS. THE GAS TANK STARTED OUT AS A SET OF 5 GALLON FAT BOBS BUT ARE SOON TURNING INTO A ONE PIECE UNIT. HERE YOU CAN SEE THE PIECES PUT IN PLACE TO DO SO. ALL THE MOUNTS HAD TO BE ALTERED AND RELOCATED TO GIVE IT A SUPER CLEAN LOOK. THE FRONT OF THE TANK HAD TO BE PANELED IN CLOSE TO THE FRAME AND IT WILL BE STREACHED ABOUT 6" BY THE TIME THEY ARE DONE.IT TAKES QUITE A BIT MORE WORK TO HAND FABRICATE THE TANKS INSTEAD OF JUST BUYING THEM BUT THE FINISHED PRODUCT IS BY FAR A BETTER FIT AND MORE PLEASING TO THE EYE. AFTER ALL....ANY ONE CAN JUST BUY BOLT ON PARTS.. IT'S THE HAND FABRICATED PIECES THAT BRING OUT A TRULY CUSTOM BIKE. ANTON PLANS TO POWER THE BEAST WITH AN 88ci SHOVEL. A FEW HOURS TO GO YET BUT WE WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED AS SHE COMES TOGETHER. ONE THING FOR SURE...I KNOW HE AND ZEKE HAVE A WILD PAINT JOB PICKED OUT FOR HER!!!!! STAY TUNED!!!!
