In keeping with the racing theme, I made twin exausts by bending two solid 12mm bars and placing 16mm piping cut at a 60 degree on the ends of the bars. Comming out underneath the back seat. Instead of just putting the back axle out through the box iron I wanted to use axle mounts, this meant that I could have the back wheels further up in the frame and nearer the back mud guard.
I feel that the bike should be made into two modules and possibly spread out over two semesters. These are some pictures of my Bike fully completed. To be honest i wasnt totally ha.
The handle bars of the bike are based on the handle bars of the vintage horse drawn drill plough as shown above. I then used 25x6mm flat bar and shaped two pieces in the shape of the plough handle bars and tacked them together. I welded a piece of 6mm round bar to represent the cross bar. I tapered the edges of the flat bar and welded the complete unit to the suspension unit.
I painted the frame with a matt black paint. I decided on matt black because I felt it would make the tank, seat, engine and handlebars more prominent when you look at the bike.
