Black Death Update


Well, this bike is finally about wrapped up. I basically gave up on it a week before Slab City when Mike's bike needed finishing and there was only time to get one done. I haven't been in a hurry anyway, this project that was supposed to be a mild refresh and flip bike, but has taken almost a year as it is so I've not been in any panic to get it done. The refresh went a little deeper than originally planned but you know what they say about the best laid plans. The finishing touch was the neat little leather cover that my friend Fredo made for the electrical box that houses the capacitor, kill switch and circuit breakers. Thanks Fredo!


Now all we need is a break in the weather for some shakedown miles...

Where'd you get those exhaust tips? I'd like a set.

Anyonomous, those are just Evo head pipes welded on backwards. You can get a set in our Builder's Exhaust Kit or just use any old Evo pipes as a donor. I just BBQ painted the pipes and masked off the tips.
