She is all done and getting some "patina" on her. I took it for a ride and its a real head turner. Its still a little cool to take it on a long ride. Here are some pics. I still need to paint the head light and the mounts but i'll get to it.









let me Know what you think.

Ive put about 200 miles on the ol rat so far this summer and o must admit it's a real head turner. I think to add a little more " what the fuck" factor to the bike I'm gonna make her into a trike. I'll move the rear fender up front and splice an ol four wheeler axle and carrier setup to the rear. Im waiting to start until I can get myself a set of chambers so I can make it easier to put everything together. I'll postmpics when I start the process.

Later

Well life has been real busy for the past few months and i havnt had time to do a lot of posting or riding for that matter, but work has finally slowed down a bit and i figured i would update ye'all on the Yamabomination. The jetting is close It isn't great but its most certainly manageable to ride. I must say its a real head turner, mostly in disbelief.  It seems all my hard work has paid off because beople cant believe how big of a piece of shit my bike is. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! Anyway here are some pics







next step, add another wheel

It's kind of a shame... kinda like when you see a camero turned into a monster truck. But,... awe, never mind.
