@bryandickerson53657 ай бұрын
It looks 1000% better! Now if you can figure out a nice, thick old-style seat and a metal tank it would be perfect. It already reminds me of an old Husky WR - excellent! With short legs I would love a bike like this with a lower seat height. I realize that would mean less suspension travel, but I’d give up the speed for more confidence in the slow, technical stuff.

@evelcustom986411 ай бұрын
One thing you could consider, instead of doing a metal tank, make a metal "shroud" that looks like a vintage tank, but really just covers the actual tank. Or even a fiberglass or plastic one.

Fun, some nice ingenuity here. Came here looking for how to mount VMX fenders to a modern bike. Looking forward to seeing it with a vintage style metal tank, and I hope you do something about that seat 😆 For the vinyl, did you consider knifeless tape designed for car wrap? Not too pricey, easy to use and cuts really nice lines. It's forgiving too since you can pull it back up and relay it if necessary. I guess the razor blades work pretty well too though, and scratches aren't a big deal since it's plastic.

Although I don’t think the bike turned out personally, I loved the video. Maybe ditch the seat and use an old one or typical cafe one or something. Then the more retro tank and it would look right

Over here in germany, there is this guy on Ebay Kleinanzeigen, who built an Yamaha xt 350/500. He took an xt 350, and fitted an old silver 500 tank, seat and round headlights on it and I think it looks awesome. I would definitely buy it, the only problem is that it costs 5.500 Euros (5.798 Dollars) and considering that normal 350s with okay miledge and good mantained cost here somewhere around 2.500, it's just to much for me. Maybe also a reason why it's still available since 2022. But definitely a cool concept.

An Air cooled engine with fins would have made it look like a vintage bike, this looks like a New bike with old fender parts... Should have started with an Suzuki DR 650 or Honda XR 650 that has carburetors and air cooled engines ,they still have the "Old School" parts right from the showrooms today.
