![]() I made the mistake of not calling Jon at Monster Craftsman first and ended up buying the wrong product for my application. The ONLY issue I had was with the chain tensioner/diverter, which ended up being my fault. It’s one of those bikes you can start up and go hammer on without fear of breaking. My second build turned out great! She goes down the road straight at both slow and fast speeds, had tight steering and no power. Funds were a bit tight that that point so I thought a bed liner coating would look good and be a durable coating as opposed to just paint. The tank, oil bag and rear fender was coated with LINE-X. The frame was coated with 20% gloss black powder. ![]() The rear wheel measures 18”圆” and will get the same treatment this winter. The front wheel is a 21”x3” DNA with high-gloss powder coat on the hoop and hub. All the wiring, and I’m using the word ‘all’ very lightly, is exposed and covered in an aerospace-approved, high-tech cloth made on a mil-spec wire loom. I had to employ a Monster Craftsman chain diverter for the chain to clear the lower fender mount. I wasn’t real sure how the trail would be affected with the addition of the Springer, so I used as stabilizer from a GSX-R 1000 to help ease those violent tank slappers. They were wrapped and I put our Billet Proof Rain Cap Flappers on the tips. The pipes were fabbed from cut up 1.5” fox body Mustang primaries. The tag bracket, battery box, golf cart leaf spring seat, sissy bar, and every bung, spacer, and mount were made in-house. The oil bag has an old flip top lid from a wine jug. Then fabricated the mid controls with some hacked-up FASTWAY motocross pegs. I altered the stock gas tank with new mounts and that fancy mason jar lid. The first set of bars I made were ditched for these Z-bars you see in the pictures. I wanted to try and fabricate as much as possible on this sled. I would always rather be riding than wrenching. Not much else was accomplished that summer. I had the roller complete by the summer of 2010. I picked up a Led Sled (great bunch of guys) weld-on hard tail with 4” of stretch in the rear and lowered 2” along with a DNA 4” Springer. Disassembly took only but a night or two. I then formulated a plan for my own world domination. I wanted a bike that was smaller, narrower, handled better and didn’t need to be washed or polished. The bike really turned out great it looked good, was well built, handled like a 75 year old retired hooker and was stolen right out of my garage.Īfter the Redneck build I was finished with the wide tire, walrus mustache-looking fad. I could already weld, fabricate, and machine, so why not jump on the bandwagon? I picked up a Redneck frame and springer and began assembly. Years ago, during the wide tire motorcycle craze, I thought I would try my hand at building a custom bike.
