...and the Widow is born

gardo · 04-03-2011, 07:35 PM

I went down yesterday and help wrench and customize my new bike.* Took 7+ hrs from crate to riding but it was a labor of love and worth it. by the end of the day "the Widow" was born.

Things that we customized
replaced the stock bars with a set of black drag bars off a 68 BSA courtesy of my friend Jacen
new revolver grips
custom Red Snake skin leather seat that was speed stiched
custom bikini front fender
custom drag Exhaust
all the cabling and brake lines rerun

What i didnt get a chance to do is fabricate a vertical side mount plate/light mount and bikini the rear fender, but i have to leave something for later*

Here are some pics
this is my ride the Widow

Next to a stock Heist

Me on my ride

At the time i took this video it was already 8+hrs into the day and I was fried

Thanks Guys

'got the bike home on Thurs last week and already Put 100 mls on her. she runs great. Already adjusted the chain and need to tighten her up. but I'm happy enough to oblige her. Did some highway running for a few exits to test-her out and she was fine. For a 250cc pushrod she had plenty of power and offered more.
have some vid of the ride on Sat but it turns out its mostly sky. will see what i can piece together

Hey Gardo, Any updates on this bike?? I'm really thinking about getting one. Did you order it from Ohio or a local dealer?
