Reaper Rider by MikesGFX
Well I got it in spring of 2003 after about close to 10 years without a bike. It was time to ride and never stop again!!! I road it for a few years as it was then with all the bike builder TV shows on I got inspired. I had always done my own body work & paint on my cars so I thought what the hell? I can do this. I started in Jan of 2005 and after about 3 months of late nights this is what I created. What do you think? This is a list of what I designed and built from scratch or modified from original. Front to back • Handlebars • Moved forks 6" forward • Front fender, made it hug the tire • Split tank and made 2x the size • Seat Pans & back rest. • moved all electrical from headlight to box on side. • Made lower frame to mount forward controls. • Made forward controls including pegs and levers • Modified exhaust to clear forward controls • lowered seat by 4" to 6" • Made rear fender & mounting bracket • Made Battery and New electrical side boxes I think that's it but I probably missed a few things. This is the only one I built I plan on doing another one for myself again. Now I am happy just painting other riders bikes. Thx MikesGFX Mikes GFX ***FACEBOOK-COMMENT***
