Fifth Time's a Charm








Finally got some fender struts bent the way I wanted. I had an idea in mind, but the finished product never quite looked right to me. First attempts were with 1/2' stock, but it looked too heavy. 3/8 stock seemed to have the right "feel." I eventually got one to house a Biltwell tail light without looking too awkward.

At top is a picture in futility. The four scrapped attempts lined up like errant schoolboys awaiting expulsion.

This thing is scheduled for completion in 2024........maybe.

  2. What our fair French Mama says, nice job . . . four pairs of spread legs awaiting impalement.

  3. More stuff to take to the swap meet, or legs for an arachnid lawn sculpture...

    2. Yes Larry, that is brilliant!
      I'm going to keep my eye out for a body and some evil eyes. I have some old horse shoes for pinchers.
      Maybe an evil, Orwellian War of the Worlds monster?

  4. 2024? I would like to purchase that bike then. I should hopefully have learned how to ride one by then.

    1. It'll be all yours Laura, by the time I finish this my legs will have given out and I won't be able to ride anyway.
