Hippie Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) Ok well you guys didn't kick me off for the first bike i posted so I thought i would post another. This probably should be in the completed area but I'm not sure, i still have to add a few more wires, oil lines, and the weals on the wealybar. Hope you like it. sorry about the photos but this will not fit in any backgrounds I have. Edited December 20, 2011 by Hippie
John Teresi Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Erik.......AWESOME bike man!!!!!!!.......your detail is top notch.
Dr. Cranky Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Oh goody, here we go again, another thread that will deliver lots of eye-popping eye candy! Love it!
Hippie Posted December 9, 2011 Author Posted December 9, 2011 thanks!! a lot i never thought you guys would like this so much. (also what does rice burning mean?)
crazyjim Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Rice burner as in a Japanese motorcycle. Also known as shavers, metric bike, and other very derogatory sayings.
tyrone Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Kick you off???? lol... I havent seen your first build, but this build is awesome.....
Hippie Posted December 10, 2011 Author Posted December 10, 2011 thanks again, my first post was a YRZ500 in the completed form about being kicked off i mean for posting imported bikes, which don't seam to popular here, but you guys seam to like, but i do have other car related builds that i haven't posted yet.
W-409 Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Really great looking TF bike! These are very interesting in 1:1 scale too. Peter Svensson, from Sweden drives 5.8 times with his Top Fuel Bike here in Europe! Your build looks great. Detailing is perfect, and I can't find any other mistakes from it.
Rob McKee Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Really nice detailing Hippie! looks like the real thing.
patami Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Yeah yeah Nice rice burner and a little different bike build. Like it can all most feel the earth sakin`
Yahshu Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 WOW That's fantastic, very nice build. One problem though.. IT'S NOT A HARLEY. That said, i was at the drags awhile back & a bloke with an untouched Hayabusa except for a extended swing arm kicked the factory Harley's tails, he ended up winning the night.
bobthehobbyguy Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Looks nice. How about some more details on the bike? Did you scratch-build the frame? bobthehobbyguy
Hippie Posted December 11, 2011 Author Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) thanks man, about the bike, i started with a cheap die cast pro stock bike i found at my model show, the thing was basically destroyed so i got it for only like 15 bucks, the frame is from the die cast but i modified it a lot to change it from a pro stock, to a top fuel bike, the engine, front fork, tires/rims, and the back half fender, are from the die cast, of course with some mods, i basically filled in all the blanks with scratchbuilt stuff, the only resin is form flash point and is the big CF scoop which is 1/16 scale, tomorrow ill try to post some more pics, i have started to work on the few body panels its needs Edited December 11, 2011 by Hippie
Hippie Posted December 11, 2011 Author Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) OK well i kinda need some help, I'm building the front cowl and can decide what it should to look like i mocked up a few ideas, so which one works the best? or this one, which is the nose from revells Kurtis midget, i kinda like this one just cause it looks like a headlight here's the two side by side and for some real progress, not just more questions, I built a work/pit stand so what do ya guys think? Edited December 11, 2011 by Hippie
Hippie Posted December 13, 2011 Author Posted December 13, 2011 K well here's some more little things finished I ended up just doing a 3rd new cowl, its just CF decals with some peace sign decals out of the HippieHemi kit. Not very impressive but I also did some decals in the back, I figure with a bike costing this much your gonna need some sort of small sponsors. sorry for such little updates, but I'm waiting for some A/N fittings to show up, so I can finish the oil lines
Hippie Posted December 15, 2011 Author Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) Hi, more stuff I added a little Racepack computer, a radio system glued the front cowl on and started the oil tank, but it still needs the pump and the brackets sorry about the pic I know its sucks oil tank and I bought some paper just big enough to fit the bike in, so better pictures now. Edited December 15, 2011 by Hippie
Hippie Posted December 15, 2011 Author Posted December 15, 2011 also what do you suggest i do with this space, i didn't remove it from the pro stock frame and now it looks awkward thanks for any help
brett Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Replacing your shield with a triangulated nose cone would be the way I'ld do it
bbsbase Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Yeah, I really like this bike. Where did you get all the information about the wiring of this model? It looks like the real thing.
