oh is that the custom on here?..geez no one told me...heres a pic of a bike i just built...its all 6061 aluminum..i won 1st place custom at a show with it...every one was complaining cause i painted it flat black instead of polishing it...oh well...theres a spider web gusset that the headtube sipderweb striping ties into then it blends down into some more striping on the down tube...the grips/bars all welded and then ground off to look like theres no weld and theres a bullet suspende in the center of each grip machined from rod..so it looks like a 1/4 inch rod with a bullett on suspened in the silencer looking grips...more details then i care to list...im hoping to sell it soon..i got offered 1500 for it which would cover finishing my sport coupe/roadster....so i sure hope it sells soon

just so you know...this bike is completely ride-able...i layed it all out with buckets and stuff to see where i could reach...it'll hurt your back after a while but it goes ok where i live...up and down hills...bottoms out on bumps though cause its only about 3 inches off the ground
