Saddle up-prepping for a winter build

[Kscreations08]

Woop Woop!!!

Here's the plan. I want to buy the crappiest bike I can find on Craigslist for a screaming deal and build the eff out of it. I'm talking full, homemade, busted knuckle, ground up, custom build. I'm thinking of doing the infamous hardtail bobber/brat/chop/rat solo spring seat DIIIIIRTY looking cruiser. I know that we all love our sportys here, so I'm not looking for help with my new harley But, if you have a moment, I am asking for your assistance with one thing. Just for the record, first priority is obviously safety. But the second priority is stun factor. I have the ninja for handling and twisty fun. I want this built bike to be one that makes people turn there heads like a bloodhound perking up an ear. I want to hear "Man, what the hell is that between your legs!" I was hoping that some of you crazies could help me think of ideas. I want to pick a design or theme for the bike. Imagine stripping down an old 80's cruiser and then adding little custom bits for nothing more than the fun of it.

Think of a cowboy (insert Brokeback mountain joke here). John Wayne and Wyatt Earp would be proud of the bike design. Pegs that look like stirrups and reins on the bars. A ten gallon hat fixed to the top of a full face helmet and a toy revolver in a holster on the side of the seat.

Think of a Viking. Fur and horns. A Warship dragon headlight and front fairing

Think of Mario Cart. With a red turtle shell tank and a banana peel brake light.

Go buck wild. Release your inner child. Any design ideas, no matter how crazy, off the wall, sarcastic (I'm looking at you @alex.s). Hit me lol.

Make a frenken bike... Buy a ninjette frame, 650 engine + wiring harness, zx6r front and rear end... You get the drift... Good luck!

I can learn Its actually one of my main reasons for doing this. I want to learn everything from welding to leather work and whatever is in between

For the sake of this thread, pretend I have all the necessary equipment and knowledge

Theme? Simple.

Duct tape and zipties. Make the bike look like it's about to fall apart at any moment. Maybe even zippers... hose clamps... twist ties.... C clamps....

Adds to the whole Frankenstein aesthetic.

The beauty is that it's easy to refresh the look at any time.
