"Something Wicked"

This started as a 2007 Kikker Hardknock Bobber and ended up as a creature called "Something Wicked" This picture below is just a example of what it looked like when I started. It was a 4-stroke 110cc motor.
Started with the battery box below. It looked basically like this with the kikker logo.
Grinded the logo down and got these little maltese crosses off ebay. Along with some spikes. Drilled a couple of holes and bam. Polished the covers first of course.
Next I polished up the chain guard and threw a few spikes on it.
Found this cool little belt buckle on ebay. Cut the buckle part off. Mounted it to the engine cover along with a few more spikes. Also polished the whole motor.
The I took a dremel tool and polished the fins to match.

Next I took the forward controls. Drilled holes in them and then jbwelded little set screws so I could mount some spikes on them.
Then I mounted these cool spiked pegs I found on ebay.
Then I picked up the chrome shift linkage on ebay also. Seem to fit the theme.

Took the gas cap and drilled some holes and came up with a wicked little spike design. lol. Yes I went nuts with the spikes.
Next I had Bill from http://www.brcustomcycles.com/ build me some wicked bars.
Drilled and mounted some spikes into the headlight casing.
Next thing I did was drill holes in the rims for spikes. Something I don't think anyone has ever done. Patent pending. lol. Just playin. It's probably too dangerous but its a show bike. Turned out pretty slick I'd say.

Then you know I had to throw some spiked risers in the mix and some spike caps. Same on the bottom.
Next I sent the tins off to my buddy in Maine to lay down some sick paint work. I gave him the design I wanted and he killed it. Gave him the colors and told him to put tribal work in it. He does amazing work. His info is in one of the finished pictures if your interested.
Now after finally assembly and a few other add ons, this is how she turned out. Truely "Something Wicked" Enjoy.





























Thanks for looking. Hope you enjoyed it. I know it was a little crazy but it was a blast to build. We ended up raffling it off. The winner was stoked.
Here are a few pictures I photoshopped for fun.
