OMG! OMG! OMG! That is COOL.

I wonder if they made a hardtail from scratch or used the one LC Fab has for the standard Bonnie.

MORE PICTURES! (Whoops, nevermind, found 'em, didn't see the link at first.)

Edit 2: That thing really needs a spoked wheel up front.

I think it needs a skinny 21" front wheel or a fat 16" on a springer.

I did exactly the same, got to the third or fourth pic until I realised it was a mirror.

Agree with the comments about the wheels, should match but this is now my favourite bike.

Someone in the UK must start making this weld on frame.

Cheers
Chris


All the best Chris Do it today - tommorrow it may be illegal.

The front sprocket cover is spaced out almost even with the engine cover, so I'm guessing that they have used an offset front sprocket

But that George Foreman grill sprocket cover need to go bye-bye in exchange for a blackened T100. What was he thinking?
