5ivemoto barn to Grand Canyon build thread

[DohcBikes]

I think we may be leaning towards building Harley's for the next trip... Guess we will have to find another forum.

Dude you should be good. I heard a rumor if you pull em with a Kawasaki, they'll do the ton. Post up.

You know you can build a pretty sweet scrambler/tracker out of a Sportster....

yep, this place isn't Harley focused, but there are some on here =) I personally would love to see the thread if you use Harleys!

Yeah man, do the HD threads here.

That's a cool adventure start to finish! ;D

Looks like Jarod has made up his mind on what he wants to build next. Traded an ar-15 for this ol bag of merica'

 

[coyote13]

Looks good. Fender struts are already chopped, just needs a café/tracker seat, Burly Stiletto shocks, TT&Co 1/8th fairing, 2-into-1, a fork brace, and loose the stupid tank lift. Bing bang done and done

What could possibly be more "American" than a trade like that?...unless of course, the deal was struck over a plate a Bacon and a pint of Kentucky bourbon.

It's even halfway to a General Lee paint job...

Funny you say that trek. The guy was a legitimate pig farmer. No shit.

Wait a minute, something doesn't smell right! How can you be a legitimate pig farmer without shit?

 

[5ivemoto]

Y'all guys don't know Jarod everything he does is over a little bit of bourbon.

You think the tank is general lee wait till I get a pic of the Chevrolet symbols the previous owner glued onto every round piece on the primary it's pretty damn funny


I don't think Jarod is sure yet what he's gonna do.

I think he's thinking keep it a swingarm bike but past that I'm not sure he knows yet. It's kind of the most fun part of the build just dreaming of what could be

 

[Luugo86]

Good stuff man.. any ideas what you want to build next? You get a cool Triumph build in here and you will have covered all your bases haha.. looking forward to more

 

[5ivemoto]

My first bike and my first build was a true basket case triumph adventurer that I loved with all of my heart and it was stolen in San Antonio Texas

But I do happen to have another triumph in the garage right now. A speed master which is a tough platform but I started it a while back and think the shape is cool. It's sitting in the garage covered in dust. Looks like it would run but there's no wires on it at all

I think it's a good candidate for one of those sprack custom harnesses... But I haven't reached out to them yet

 

[5ivemoto]

This is the best I got on that Chevyhog

 

[5ivemoto]

Here's the speedmaster. Old bonnie tins a home made wheel cover and clip ons. There was also a lot of cutting and welding on this. Need to get back on it one day

 

[treitz]

Haha. I love how half of your bike shots have cop cars in the background. Classic.

 

[5ivemoto]

The cops loved that bike I don't know why. I only got one ticket it on it though and that was a woman police officer. The guys basically wanted to bullspit and talk about the bike for a min then tell me "you better get that taken care of"
