 Posted: April 11, 2009, 7:24 pm Post subject: The Black Widow my first bike build |
|
Here is my first bike build I wanted to go with an oldschool theme so I kind of shyed away from alot of chrome and went with flat paint as well. I have a hardtail kit on it from tcbros.. It's a 3" stretch I believe. I fabricated the liscense plate bracket,batterybox,fake oil tank/wire tube. I did all the work myself even the paint hell I even put the tires on the wheels. I hope you guys like it. Well this is what it started out as someone try to make a flat track racer or whatever you call it.
So I tore it apart and started cutting it in half

| I like your bike you did a good job love the color on the pipes what made you go with that bright of color after everything else is black, not questioning just curious because I love the color choice.

I wanted it to be not flashy but have some pop you know. I did it like them old hotrods that are flatblack with the red wheels thats where my idea came from

Very nice job. Gotta love TC Bros, huh??? That hard tail is so easy to install and I almost hated to paint it!
With those pipes- you don't need side markers! 
Very nicely done!

 I found 2 more xs650s they look all together one has no title and the other does have one he wants 900 bux which probably isn't a bad deal just didn't know if I wanted to spend that much right now
