After selling off 80percent of this bike, i'm left with a great project. My girlfriends mom was needing some cash, so i decided to help everyone out by posting it as a basket case. a few months and more cash than anyone thought later. I'm sitting on a 61 trump bonneville T120r 650twin frame. unmolested(well that is till i get my pervy hands on it). Plans are including a bolt-on hard tail, Mated stock front end off a 72 honda cb750 four, Stock laced wheel from an 80's HD with no front brake, White wall rear tire, HD laced rear wheel. Solo seat, drag bars, kustom fabbed gas tank(i've been designing this thing for a couple years now). fully built 650 twin bored and stroked. drag pipes wrapped in black header wrap. Jockey shifter with piston grip off one of my old snowmobiles. The rustier the better for this bike. i'm a huge fan of rat rod styles.
Here's the last pics of the tank in progress. it's a bit nicer lookin now, i'll update that later. You can see how much bondo is actually on this thing. This is my first time skulpting a tank, it was a huge trial and error learning experience, but it looks really nice now.
