She's punked.

WTF, 5 pages of hijack and not a single progress report?
Maybe we should start a NEW "BS our brains out" thread so Buddy can have his space back.

He did not get the support he was looking for, now the world will miss a great piece of art.  Shame on you all!

You guy's remember a couple of years ago , 2010, I started a project and made a steampunk cafe tail , Still have it , never finished it.

Rivetted SS and copper?

[bikerbart]

Fun Huh . Too bad I sold the project

Thanks for not finishing it, that looks horrible!

I wonder when this forum switched from "here's what I've done" to "may I do this?" 

Cut it, chop it, weld it, or restore it. It's yours, you paid for it. For anyone that doesn't wish to observe, then don't. But geez, leave the guy be and let him start shredding a bike that he owns.

I agree.

Nothing will come of this, just another wasted Honda.

Ahh, there we go... reverse psychology!  That'll motivate him even more to finish what he's started.  Nice thinking!

Many don't seem to approve of 750 butchery, who remembers this fiasco?

I like this old K1 chopper. No tacky non-functional add-ons, just a nice neat custom CB750 from back in the day. I don't know if I'd be able to ride it for 700 miles in one day, but if I had it, I'd certainly ride it. I might have to look out for a frame.......

That's definitely a good example of subjective tastes.  I wouldn't be caught dead riding something like that... it looks cartoonish and uncomfortable.  I'd probably choose Noddy's artsy fartsy vision over that one.  Of course in reality I'd choose neither and continue to build exactly what I'm building now.  Which is what ALL of us should be doing.

Yeah, But I'm not the one with a handlebar mustache, I figured you of all people would like the Steampunk thing.

[floivanus]

An engine for something like a virago has a better look for what you're looking to do. Although I don't get steam punk, it just seems like punk, emo, goth, rocky horror and comic con to me, an excuse for you to take out your anger on the world, play dress up and "stick it to the man" and of course hook up with poser chicks I gotta say if you do what you want to and make it what you're looking for its cool...

P.S take terry's offer, hell I want to try to

[bikerbart]

I dug it in 'The wild wild west' with Will Smith or Jules Vernes 20,000 leagues under the sea, But that was relevant, the new style is a fad that will go away

[754]

The if that looks uncomfortable,  how does sportbike look to you..?

[Wiggy_NZ]

This one is for show only... not to be ridden...  disc on front wheel... calliper is ?

Piece of shlt... would NOT have it in MY "Man Cave" to drool over.

Terry...  I thought as much..  you are talented at photo shop OR searching the interweb

Before anyone else cries "IT'S A STYLE THAT'LL GO AWAY AND THEN YOU'LL LOOK STUPID!!"... look back at all the lovely choppers people built in the 70's when these bikes were new. Massive rakes, tall seat backs, swirly paints, etc, etc, things that people love to preserve today... or just paint over and move on.

The same thing will happen here. Beats all of us riding the exact same bike.

[dave500]

I like copper and brass scrap,i get good coin for it,autosol sales must be through the roof?

Haha, creating something to comment on, oh well, we've had everything else.....

[Hon3ybadger]

I say go ahead and build it. With all that brass, steel and copper on it that steampunk bike will be stolen and scrapped long before my bike. lol

[dave500]

I have a chandelier you can have for a head lamp,youll have to work out how to stop the candles for indicators blowing out once its moving though?i think solid rubber tyres are a must aswell.

[dave500]

if the baked beans tins for pistons hold up?

[dave500]

the wire coat hanger crankshaft is a bit of a worry?

[dave500]

the pointy bits get stuck in the chimney?choppers are hard as hell to gift wrap aswell!

[mick7504]

This would have to piss Santa off trying to wrap this up too. 
It'd be cool mowing the lawn man.
Far out, solid and right on.
