Looking good man. What do you think about painting the white walls OD green?
Might look goofy but I bet the bike could pull it off.

jerrad, if i change the whitewalls it would only be to make them go further up the tire. i am really enjoying the hopper right now, starting to chomp at the bit for the tracker.

cree, i love the way your bike looks but the plan for the tracker is to give it a classic clean look so she will be the pretty one but using whatever color the potential for semi schemes is still there:beer:

mr. trappo, i beat you to it..lol..

and the next project, 74 f100 to keep the original paint scheme and general look but bagged on 20" spare rims and hopefully fit the hubcaps somehow. it will have a track in the rear to pull the bike in on.

alright a couple of updated pictures, first the hopper is nice and nestled in with the coupe.

below the final stages of getting the bike ready to head over to conroe for the leather work. most of the fabrication is done now with the only need to stitch up the welds and finish out the exhaust. i am really excited and hope to get this thing running and riding......... woohoo! i may not have time to get the paint work done but this thing will look just as cool in the raw.

man i love this kickstand

gotta say it again, LOVE those bikes! very mechanical and fabbed looking, the ultra sleek and clean look gets old quick.
mr. trappo, i beat you to it..lol..
i know, i know damn it:cuss:


lol, working on changing this though. either my band will go somewhere(would be a dream!) or i'll have my A&P license in about 2 years and be making some good cash working on aircraft! the aston will be (quite)a few years off but it will happen - oh yes - it will happen:coolman:

Looking good, so I have to ask, why does the builder use so many sporters motors?

The pic with the guy wearing the red shirt, that bike looks like something that Billy Lane would build, looks great! Oh and that slammed Tahoe is sick!

he actually prefers using older honda 750 engines, i opted to go with the sporty engine in both because they are easy to find and i wanted a v twin platform.

after the truck is done we are going to do another bike, thinking a ducati engine with a full frame build. going to do it with fairings in the style of the speed racer look, BIG ass front and rear diameter wheels with a skinny contact patch, exaggerated lines while sitting deep into the bike.
