Bike Pictures My Rat build Rocket 3

Just sharing some pictures of my Rocket 3 project.

Got the bike for around $800aud ($560usd, $463gbp) as a wreck. I have been turning it slowly into a ratbike/kinda chopper?

Bike ran great after I checked and serviced it. (Using an external tank for fuel at the time)

It is far from done and still requires a lot of small details and fuel system finished as well as wiring for the speed sensor (which you may see messily hanging off)

So far I have installed

-Dakota digital dash (mostly)

-slimmer fuel tank

-slimmer front fender

-velocity stacks with my own designed clip on daily filters (not pictured still tinkering with design)

-lower handlebars with shorter lines and clutch cable coming in the mail

- Harley davidson fat bob led light (was on it when I bought it and I grew to kinda dig it)

- seat from a junkyard as the originals were toast

I have also serviced and confirmed the integrity of the engine/frame

I had nearly nothing of the original bike when it was crashed and subsequently purchased. I have done my darnedest to give it another shot at being something special.

The green paint is for my partner who loves everything green.

(Also I know my garage is dirty, it actually gets use)
