Love the tank. i have started a Crusader based bike. i also raked out the forks and my rear also now rides on an axle. It's an easy mod, much more sturdy, and authentic! Yours looks great so far!

Stingray69 Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 Well here is a quick pic of my current chopper. There won't be much in the way of custom work. I'm adding a sissy bar and some custom graphics. I had no luck finding the springers everyone else is using but I came across one on another diecast. It still needs some work to get it right.
Terry Love Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 I am going to toss my hat in the ring. No promise that it will be done but I am going to try.
BIGTRUCK Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Thats the spirit Terry...that trike is sharp...davids fat-fender, wow love the look it has....stingray 69...good start ..good luck on your springer set-up

Ariel Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 just a little 2 week project. I opened the rear sprocket, added wiring for brakes, clutch,mirrors,used handle bars from aces wild and cut them down shorter, openned the pipes, shortened license plate bracket and made a tail light with an aluminium ring and epoxy.
Dag Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 Well I managed to get a few shots off last night. Looks like I need to adjust my whitebalance a bit though. Up first Aces Wild with the Crusader drag pipes, diecast springer to be black and chrome, bobbed rear fender, sectioned and narrowed tank from the same diescast as the springer. I will probably go with black spokes.
Dag Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 And next a Crusader. House of Kolors Bittersweet Pearl ( white balance is off in this pic ) so far only the rear fender and oil tank ahve been cleared. Decals are KDog Graphics. I got a bit rough with one of the Spider Webs and folded it under but I am just going to leave it I am just building these as fun quik projects. I plan on using the same springer as my Aces , the carbs need a bit of work and some chrome and they came from the same diecast. Spokes are going to be blacked out. Wil use the straight drag pies from the Aces bike. Not sure if I will use the front fender or not. Oh yeah I had this mocked up onthe table last night and was in the garage when I heard my cat playing with it in the kitchen. Little stinker broke the engine mounting tab off!!!! You can see in this picture where I folded over one of the web strings. Oh well I only have one set so it stays.
Ariel Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 LIKE THE ORANGE BIKE. SEEMS THE CHOPPER BUG HAS BITTEN HARD. THE EXHAUST FROM THE NEW TORCH BIKE WILL LOOK GOOD ON THIS BIKE. 8)
simonr Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 Vaya Ariel, se ve bien conco!! Just keep on the good work! It looks real nice! Simon
gowjobs Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 I guess I'll have to get back on my own project. Now I'm feeling like I should be scratchbuilding a new tank.
Ariel Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 HOLA SIMON WE MISSED YOU AT THE CARIBEAN SHOW. THANKS I,M GLAD YOU LIKED IT. MAKE SOME PLANS TO COME TO NNL EAST IN MARCH OR MAMAS SHOW IN MAY.
