What's black and red and goes 60 miles per hour??
Nope, it's not a frog in a blender.
I've been thinking about building this bike for a good long while. I seen a bike on ebay that was stock candy red and most everything else was black. I liked it. I also seen one somewhere else that was the same with candy green and black, liked it too. So what I'm thinkin is to build a candy red and flat black bike using a bunch of ol bent and rusty parts that no one wants. Poppin red and flat black, and nothin else.
Fenders,shocks,springs, bars, nuts and bolts, cables,motor.....BLACK....Everything rattlecan black. All the typical painted sheet metal...rattlecan red.
I'll spend a little cash on paint, hot rod motor parts, and grease. Should be cheap and fun to build. Should be fun to ride and look really cool from 20 feet. I'll be able to ride it in the mud, or on the street, pull some wheelies, bomb down any trail scrubbin against the scrub brush. I wont have to be afraid of damaging parts or paint since everything will be crappy old parts painted up with a spray bomb.
Plannin to use a CYS K1 frame, K3 front forks with the gaiters but with K1 painted fork ears on top, if that works, and a painted plastic K0 headlight bucket. Fold down bars. Might as well use a K0 taillight setup to match the headlight. Not sure yet if I want to use a classic K0 decal or a K0H.
