Something a little different!

[CBURKE]

The custom bicycle crazy is pretty cool and I'm really getting into it!
After this bike is done, I'll try my hand at building my own frame!

(Copy pasted from another site)
Name's Chris, I'm the owner of Cburke.Industries, a small fabrication and metal art business. I picked up this bike for free and wanted to play around with it. I'm super into rat rods, but without the money to build a car, I thought a bike would be the next best thing lol.


When I picked her up!


First thing was to flip the girl bar around.



Then I started cutting her up!



Building the extension




I love spider webs, well in metal not real life lol.



I cut the upper back off to flip it so I could maybe cut the seat bar to bring it down

I'll need to extend this as well


Ok, got the front in so I installed it to see just how low it would sit. Well, It's lower then I thought so I'll either need to order a 3" crank or cut an inch out of the one I have. Any suggestion?


I also had to trim down the front a little at the top to get it closer to the head.














I'm happy with it! Just need to make sure I can ride it lol.

I've decided to change the bars to chrome because the front and a few other part will be chrome as well. I like the RatRod look with a little shine!
Bars I will be using but in chrome!


I think a brown seat with brown grips will set this off!
Thanks for looking!

Feeling the old front forks a little more but both are gorgeous. Great fab work

[CBURKE]

Thank you!
Maybe I'll cut the bottom bar off and make my own so it kind of flows with the front tire.... Maybe later... lol

[CBURKE]

Ordered a bullet headlight and tail light! Should set it off pretty good!
Almost there.... Hand grips will be in today then I need to take them to a bike shop so I can find a seat that matches.

[Spectra Phantom]

Good, good.

[CraigSnedeker]

wicked awesome bro

[CBURKE]

Thank you!
New grips in! Now need to find a seat to match... This this color will really set off the Rat Rod look!

Taillight came in. Will need to build a bracket to hold it. Not sure how I'm going to get this light to work. I only has one wire....
