What have you done? Wheels are all finished and wrapped in new rubber, motor and trans are fully polished/finished, exhaust is built, controls/pegs are done, fender strut is complete, taillight is frenched into the chainguard, 90% of the fab work is complete.
What do you have left to do? I need to button up the fab work, disassemble the bike and send all the parts out for paint/chrome. Maybe even get a little sleep.
Any problems so far? The bike has fought me every step of the way, but honestly Iāve enjoyed the whole process.
Favorite part of the bike so far? Honestly the overall aesthetic of the bike. I really wanted to build a fully functional bike that I could fix on the side of the road if need be, while also maintaining a show bike feel
Favorite part of the competition? Getting to shoot the shit with the other builders, and know theyāre going through the same thing as I am. Also seeing all of their update photos/videos really pushed me to build this bike the best of my capabilities.
Want to give any shout outs? Biltwell for choosing me to be part of this. My buddy Junior Burke for giving me a crash course on lacing wheels, while also unknowingly nicknaming the bike. My buddy Adam for letting me use his shop to drill a million holes in these wheels. My buddy Eric for bring a true friend and telling me the exhaust wasnāt looking right, and lastly my lady for being so understanding these past few months.
