THE RD FROM HELL

[stroker crazy]

Looks brilliant!

As you say, if you damage the seat hump you've got bigger problems!

You really don't have the vision Bradj does.

He is using the Steam Punk BMW posted elsewhere on this site for inspiration. When he puts the horse saddle on the seating area, you will see it all come together..... ;D

Inspiration:

Maybe when he upholsters the seat, it will look more "together"...

told ya.

brad it looks fucking awesome..

 

[Maritime]

Yep, that is awsome.

 

[bradj]

Parts have changed alot but this bike is inching towards a far off finish line. the tank is body worked and in primer. the rear wheel when to my xs650 and my front wheel went to my tt500 so thats a problem. i think one set of 2000 yz wheels would fix everything. the motor pipes and carbs are finished. i traded my usd zx750 fork to von for his chop. then i got a sv650 fork on loan for future welding work. it will grace the front of the rd so nevt step is the third front end swap for this build haha

Sv650 front end swap

Tank in primer

 

[Rich Ard]

Dig it. Does that tank need to be sealed also?

 

[stroker crazy]

Brad - you sure have a lot of threads!

I can't get any work done because I spend so much time following your endeavours.

The Rd is going to be an amazing bike!

Crazy

 

[bradj]

[smajure]

BUT WHERE IS THE FUCKING BATTERY BOX!!!???!!!

 

[TurdFurguson]

Even with your 100 builds, this will still be done before mine

 

[two-smoker]

I was wondering when we'd see some more of this one. Conventional forks, eh? Really changes the bike's attitude.

 

[bradj]

Those usd forks are way to perfect on von's xs

 

[bradj]

Tring to remember where i put all the shit for this bike is the hardest part. There is boxes and boxes of spares,a few of them have important "made for this bike"parts. when i die god help the fucker that has to figure this shit out. well that a trans shaft sproket for a bla.bal.bla yamaha whatever cold war era blahaha. fuckem this is where i quit, but weve been hear befor

I know you have to paint that thing, but that last picture just looks like a solid piece of raw metal sexiness...
