"INSPIRATION GALLERY "
« on: March 31, 2008, 04:21:35 PM »
We all take our inspiration on our builds from somewhere, most of the time it's another bike or several bikes. so i was thinking why not have a thread dedicated to showing all the awesome rides we drool over.
like the "babe" thread but for bikes, i started it in the project shop so that all bikes can be included, not just SOHC4's . and it my theory that someone lerking in the project shop is either looking for inspiration or they just wanna see some cool bikes so i'll start it off with my own bike and some others,

whats the story on that yamaha chop? all i'd need to add would be a front brake and that would be my favorite bike. something about it really catches my eye. i go and look at chopstars bike every time my ambition starts to drop off, one look at his project gets the ol' energy level back up.

This bike has been very inspirational for me.
It was the picture I used for my avatar for a long time too.

They're not the only one!  I've been checking your 550 out for a while now on thechopperunderground.  It really kicks ass!  Nice work!

This is the greatest thread on the Intertubez.

Some of these Hondas are probably floating around this board...


I'd like to do the same black rim/silver spoke wheels as here.




Love the different seats on these three, anybody know where I can find them?



These two were what really got me into these bikes, that yellow one especially.





...and here's some bobbers that I've been kicking about for my next project.
