Well she’s not done , but shes getting there. Gonna powder coat some stuff and try to figure out why the batt wont stay charged. The best thing i did to this bike was install seat springs.

How much for that cool trailer in the background?
That thing is rad!
@ Hesh
I was going to say the same thing. That trailer is sweet_shit…
The worst thing you did was to put struts on it. WTF is the point!?
A real hardtail reduces function in favor of form, but putting struts on it eliminates function and does nothing for form. It looks ridiculous and rides like shit. Put the shocks back on it and make yourself a nice flat seat, or do a real hardtail with a sprung seat.
Rebel shocks would give you about the same stance and would look a lot nicer, and save your kidneys from an unnecessary flogging.
To end on a positive note, the front half looks great. I like the frame color, the bars and tank work well together, great tires and a nice, simple 2 into 1. I even kinda like the little grab “rail” you put on the back, if only it had a seat that was formed to match, you could have a sweet brat-style going on…
Hey bro your bike is a form of self expression, you built it the way you wanted, the way you invisioned it, and did all that with a huge smile and lots of hard work,and ocasionally some blood. Not every one has access to metal working tools, that being said i think struts was a great idea for the price and look of it, its great. You might want to check that the brushes on the stator are clean then check the rotor for the same, i have had bikes that sat up and that is all it is, just a thought. awesome work bro Frank GRC
Sorry mate but the struts look like shit.
