22 inch homemade apes and alot more work to come

Post by skulls on Mon Oct 04, 2010 8:51 pm


its looking better everyday but i gotta take it easy cuz things gotta be done before i can move to the next. soon as the carbs are put back together i,m moving to the cables and the seat and i,m make this funky open ended wrench choke lever instead of the normal choke it,ll save a little green and customize her a little more. better pics to come.

scratch

You must be like 8ft. tall! I can't even imagine how you could ride this! Could we see a pic of you sitting on it with your hands on the controls? I just kinda need to see it to belive it!

Good on ya for building your own though, that rocks no matter what!

Not a problem. I just love the virago. Hate to see one just sit. Or any bike for that matter.
