The "Worm" Revamped

Some of you may recognize this bike as the "Worm" from when it had a green metalflake tank and white bars.

But Sportster Jim was really tired of everyone calling it a Rat-Bike. So one day he came riding into the shop with this old Powell skateboard on his back and said he wanted it painted like the deck with a bunch of parts powdercoated.

So, I started to take it apart to modify and finish a few things while it was at paint and powdercoat. But then we decided to polish the engine covers and put new acorn hardware all over it. So, I had to lace some stainless spokes in his wheels and have Steve O mold the frame while it was apart.

I don't think anyone will be calling it a Rat-Bike for a while.
