After my original gas tank came down from the orbit the contained explosion put it in I quickly realized that worrying about silly shit like a dent in the tank was only going to cost me more money. I searched ebay and found a replacement tank for about 20 bucks, worked out an awesome deal through work for damn near free shipping and started out to make the rattiest rat bike the world has ever seen. This time around i sanded the tank by hand through the clear coat and shot with with about 6 coats of Krylon. then turned my attention to the stance. This Blog is titled Low Life because that is the direction I am sticking with on this bike. Low, loud and unrefined. Kinda like me :) I'm going to skip through the steps I went through to get the bike this far but i'll some it up with a short statement. alot of cutting, drilling, fabbing and welding was needed to take Hondas original design for a low buck street cruiser and make it into this little nightmare.
But here it is now. 6 months later its a shell of its original self. And I'm only 1/2 done.
I'm only really able to work on this bike at nights and on weekend free time. I should have named this "Project flip flops" cuz i'm always wearing sandals when I work on this. I know its not safe but its 110 fuckin degrees in my garage now and I only work on it for 15 minutes at a time. cheers.
