Amazing Dave
I know who I'll be asking for advice with my fiberglass.
Are you going to replicate the textured foam instants on the arms guards and knee rests?

| Thanks Mr32, I appreciate the kind words and please ask if you have any fiberglass questions. I am still learning that trade. In fact I should be working on the fiberglassing right now but its rainy and cold in Cali. We had a major breakthough on the Big Kahuna in getting the steering and drivechain working. Had to cut the front control arm panel just a bit but I think it still looks good. This steering is so unique and the fact it actually works opens up a lot of further potential uses. Yeah I'm not going with the foam inserts on the kneepads. I really like the look of the holes and I kinda feel like any superhero riding the bike would have protective padding built into thier suit. I'm hoping at some point to build a replica Batpod and then I might incorporate the foam. Thanks again for looking.....dave

| We have been seriously modifying our Isuzu NPR to haul the bike. Its been a lot of heated discussion as to how the best way to display the Big Kahuna. It about halfway done but looks pretty awesome. My business partner Harold and me in a shirt that is too small for me. Hey I didnt know we were taking pictures....

| Hey Jimmy, good to hear from you. Yeah its kinda hard because you have to really raise your head up. Initially I was thinking about a windshield but Dark Knight might get shot in the eye. So my idea is a bulletproof shield with a camera mounted up high then the rider will view the road through a flat screen. it works pretty good. thanks for looking....dave

Looking great Dave!
I think my next build will be along a "similar" line.. I think once I have the 89 on the street I'm going to modify a Can-Am Spyder to look like it could have been out of the Dark Knight movies. It's a two front and one rear trike as well.
