??? Really??? Left hanging

Nothing like being left hanging. It is like someone ripped out the last pages of a book.

She is really taking shape! I am really interested to hear about how she performs!

It's getting there.

Ok, I am officially impressed! When you first mentioned that you weren't going to tell us what motor you were using, a B&S popped into my head right away. That is so cool!!! I'm not into rat bikes, and if this were just another chopped bike with a regular engine it wouldn't have gotten any attention from me, but this is something special. I love the fabrication you've done and can't wait to see the end result.

:thumbsup:

TIG machines are FUN!. I have a Miller in the mancave, and LOVE using it! The build is looking very nice, so yes, please keep the photo's coming!

Since I have mostly got the hang of TIG'n aluminum, I have been tig'n everything! and making a lot more aluminum parts!
(Ours is Miller too)

Looking pretty sweet! I am really looking forward to the finished product! Keep the pics coming!

Wasn't happy with my fender, decided to make another out of aluminum. I haven't really did any serious TIG welding until a few days ago. I went over to a shop down the road and the guy there gave me some pointers and got me started.

Cut out the pieces on CNC Plasma.


Rolled it out on the english wheel.


Tacked together.



A few of the better looking welds on it
Not as consistant like I am aiming for, But I just started aluminum, and have almost no experience with the TIG in general. . It does have good penetration and will be strong enough.



I didn't get to finish it, I ran out of gas on the welder.

Old vs New





It's still not perfect. One section is rounded more than the rest. I plan on putting it on the bottom, and putting the better side up top. I will be sanding it down the best I can also.

cool pipes

Hey Ray: Great work on the exhaust, looks good the way they both end up on the one side without being 'fat' & the ends on the tips do it up. Great stuff - keep the pics coming - Dan

A true "rat bike" extraordinaire!

It makes a good rat bike right now. I'm not wanting it to finish a rat bike though
