After the bike had arrived I had to dive right into this build. I began to dismantle the bike right away.

After dismantling the bike I had to then keep going, out came the saw. Im sure alot of you old school bikers are not going to like this pic to much. But if I am to make the bike I once had, I had no choice.

Once I cut the bar through, I had to grind off the the other side where it was welded to the frame.

What the heck, Guys hack up bikes to make Choppers, Kustoms and low riders every day. It's your bike Do what ya want , lol

After I cut the tubes off I thought it would look better if I cut the top at an angle. So I did it.

Looks good, should cap the ends and weld them.

Ghost Rider X · 2011-11-27 7:51am

Looks cool, I like when people fabricate something into thier own. I don't know how to weld but maybe you could epoxy something round like a marble or steel ball on the end. Bondo around the gaps and sand smooth to give it a finished look. It would probably look good painted doubtful it would work with powder coat. Just a though... sure there are many ways to do this....

Most of the time I completly strip the paint. In this paticular case because the paint was in such great shape with so little rust I sanded down the intire bike and fork Removing any minor rust to a smooth finish. Then I spray it with a sealer and top it off with primer to prepair it for some high quality paint.
