Hatch, Lookin good What color is it gonna be? black with red wheels would be cool cause that hasnt been done 100 times yet just 99. LOL If you paint it are you gonna do it? Lets do some tradin,paint work towards that little xs bike you got. If interested pm if not still looks cool the way it is.Also do you need some tubes cut?Maybe I could also get that done for you.

Here's the ugly thing I started with.....I plan on bare metal for this one...the tank and fender are both perfect. Maybe paint on the next one. I love the red wheel, with black idea....maybe even FLAT black...that would be *****in!!!!...(and trendsetting)
Here is a pics of how ugly can be made good lookin.Some times you just got to look past the forest to see the trees.A few people laughed at my new bike when I rolled it in they could not believe I got rid of my HD to build this.I might have to take a look at the oif bikes as I have past over them as I didnt think they could be cool.But Hatch you hit this on the head dead on brother.
Nice ride. That bike is finished right now and you know it, hatch. Now move on to the next one or sell me one cheap because you have too many.
Nice bike man! I hate to say it, but I think you are going to start seeing the bare metal "look" turn into the "new" flat black. At least as far as motorcycles go...
No problem here....haven't seen any around town. If it gets too normal, I'll just blow it apart and squirt it black....piece of cake!!
That's AWESOME Hatch! OIF is gay. My dad couldn't sell this one last year, so he decided to make it a rigid. My brother made the frame and the bars. Sorry I don't have a better pic:
SWEEEET!! how many bikes you got right now Steve??? still got that Jab bike you cut up?? was that a Yamaha 650 or somethin??
Never too many bikes or piles of stuff.......and the yamabobber is still here, but it's gettin warm and emails are arriving daily!!
Damn, I hope not I'll paint mine flourescent green and pink. Hatch, SWEEET bike. A buddy of mine turned down a deal on an OIF trump, ????, wait til I show him yours! Ken
Didja build the frame yourself? Did you adapt the OIF frame? How difficult was it? That's a VERY clean looking scooter... (It reminds me I need to post some pics of MINE!)
I cut the back half off the OIF and did a "weld on" hardtail section....Bought it on line and it was a POS....took me two days to straighten it out....never again.....I'll start from scratch.
POS stands for perfectly okay stuff ? I have heard alot of horror stories about hard tail sections out there that are available online. Some of them have not been the highest quailty. Later Shoe
Damn Steve, if I had known you were into old bikes.... These things are sittin' out by my wife's garden shed and she wants 'em otta there. Come and get 'em. I doubt if they run but you don't actually ride 'em anyway, do you?
