Turning a spree into an offroad/ farm/ random fun bike

Post by romprer »

They are very solid with knobbies on them, I run knobbies on the street and theyre excellent to have on wet grass :-)
I love the idea of a pickup bed for sure, I'd weld a 3" wide piece of 1\4" flat bar to the base of the center stand and make it wider than the stand is normally, that way when you park it on softer ground it won't sink in and fall over :-)

Today the tires went on, the bed got made (Its not heavy enough to tip the bike, though a reinforced stand is a very good idea), and the army green paint is complete and currently drying.

Tomorrow the rims get painted and reinstalled, the strobe lights get put in, the CB goes on and all the touch up work gets done

Pics are on my friends phone. ill post em as soon as I get a hold of em

But it looks sweet

Can't wait to see the bed on it. If I was still doing the odd job thing at a friends farm that was a public petting zoo and activity center I would have a spree with a bed on it for sure. Sometimes you just need to buzz from job to job on a big property with some tools and such maybe a chain saw. Not everyone needs an ATV to get the job done ;-)

You need to use a photo sharing site like photo bucket upload the pics there and then they give you the img HTML code copy and paste it in your post :-)
