Hey guys.
this is an update from my build.
Except for the exhaust i think its finally done
I started out with a $40 craigslist mountain bike that looked like this:
after two months, a couple $$$$$, and patience, heres how it sits now
painted it flat black, took out the whole shifter mechanism, converting it to a one speed. chopped the seat as low as it could it go. and threw on some high rise handlebars, tilted forward
heres the goodness:
sick bike parts fuel valve (the best upgrade imo)
no leaks what so ever.
ngk lead the crappy one that came with the kit wouldnt give me a spark.
and custom chain idler. made from parts from the shifter mechanism
oh and by the way, don't paint your wheels, mine were painted and as you can see the brakes took the paint right off
like i said its all done except for the exhaust. you probably cant tell but in the pic below theres a huge scrape coming from the crank hitting the exhaust not a big deal but it gets annoying
Thanks for looking guys, tell me what you think. oh and before i forget , does anyone know if springer forks would fit on a mountain bike? I think springer forks would finish it off well
