Leighton's 300g upgrade (sold my bowfront will now be a 300g upgrade)

The pressure treated 4x4's your using, they have been properly weather right? I have heard that w/o letting them get properly weather their are toxic chemicals in pressure treated wood that can be bad for tanks oh and going 35 mph on the freeway isn't the worst thing that could have happened to him haha btr than a spark plug at his windshield going 75mpg

 

Yes i let them dry completely and its more like a handful of pennies or washers for me at 75mph for tailgaters ;D not really but thought has crossed my mind lol

 

Yeah I nvr forget the time my friend tossed an old spark plug.... I have a few crazy friends, not something I would do personally but then again I don't wanna die on a bike because some idiot wasn't paying attention!!! Well that's great news on the stand, I should be getting me done hopefully sunday, but we shall c

 

lol spark plugs do some pretty nasty damage!!

 

The stand from start to finish:

Just to wood im using for the frame.



Back of the tank frame:


comparing the front and the back:


putting the supporting pieces in:




The top:


This is what the frame will look like completed the battery in my screw gun is dead so ill finish the rest tomorrow.

 

ZOMG, I really hope you're ok!! I havent seen the post about the accident.
When I had my bike, I was trying to make a right and some lady driver in Expedition (not to mention she was on the phone) decided to make a right as well without noticing me. So I HAD to KICK the passenger door to save myself. Aaand I "waved (with one finger)" and took off. It was a really close one.

 

Wait wait wait, I missed whole a lot, you gonna ditch the original stand??

 

haha, finally got caught up on the build. Nice bike stories, guys.

Yeah, I didn't see anythig about completely dicthing the old stand, so I'm not sure what he's doing with it. The new stand looks good though. lol.

 

Yeah the dense traffic up here makes me not really wanna ride at all. Thank you im okay i didnt really make a thread on it cause i had to zoom to work right after. I just got some road rash and a large gash in my knee, I like the one fingered wave hahaha

Not ditch the original stand just reinforce it with a new frame. So what im doing tomorrow is taking the partical board and front off the original stand and putting it on my new frame. Kinda like a face lift lol.

 

So I hope the new frame allows room for the bow in the cabinet (so it fits correctly when you put the new face on)?
