Put some metal in yer eye....
I know that some of you have already seen this. But I have made a few changes, and also figured since there is now a place for these bikes on this board I would put it here... :-*
Anyway, I built this for my bother. And until I can deliver it to him, I will keep plugging away @ it. I installed a new front wheel, 19" w/ a 220mm drum in place of the other 18" w/ no brake. I figured I didnt want to get a call from my sister'n'law telling me that he piled into the back of a car on the bike I gave him.
My favorite thing about this turd is the amount of $ it took to build it. I know have about $550 in the whole thing. We have a local cyclesalvage (Boise Vintage Cycle) that treats me pretty well. And with out them. None of my projects would be possible.
This hobby doesnt have to break the bank... Which is why its soooo fucking awsome!
Parts that make up El' Macho Borracho:
74' cb360, 72' cb175 headlight, cb450 front wheel, homemade sissy-bar, handlebars, struts, and kicker. bsa c15 levers, tomeselli quick ratio throttle, ebay seat and p-pad, free tires, lucas tail light, kawasaki front fender for rear, early sportster tank (that I frisco'd and painted w/ rattlecans) , WWII swiss medical bag for saddle bag (which is where the battery and some other shit are), Kids tri-cycle grips and a bunch of other crap.
So here it is again... haha
