Ohhhh Mike you where killing me with your comments. :lol:

I think they are right six. The trim looks good but the rest is a little rough. But I am sure you will figure it out like usual. Go with the mad max theme. lol

Cool stuff.

Gyro's have so much potential for custom builds. I'd love to get my hands on one.

Well my bike is coming together .I am sorry when I said industrial I was thinking more like industrial colors and more mods to get away from just stock .
Frame is painted / engine cleaned a bit / wiring back in /painted front rim black / installed mini turn signals on the rear /
and as soon as I can get some metal I will probably do a kick plate on the undercarriage and might not use the stock battery cover
get the seat recovered .And look for a different tail light a bud said he might be able to get me a old Hummer tail light .
This is where I am right now ...Go ahead and laugh .

Great idea, and a great looking product.

I also got some steel for a skid plate . I went through a blade on my first cut .
The bending and forming took a lot longer than I thought .
But I think it might work out .

Went to Wal-mart got some what used to be $15.00 tires now $25.00 I guess a lot of gyro owners are buying them
so the price is going up . So swapped some wide tires and painted the rims black .
Started making mounts for the teardrop turn signals .Installed & painted the skid-plate .
Finished cleaning the engine finished the muffler cleaned and installed the air filter box .
Its been in the 100's so things that should take 2 hours are taking 4 ,it's just so hot you don't feel like working .
