zagger Posted July 2, 2007 #1 Posted July 2, 2007 (edited) 83 Rat chopper Venture. Manual Vmax boost. Homemade pipes, forward controls, and everything else. VTX radiator. Misc. lighting. Well I guess you get the idea. Finally out of the basement and down the road. I can now tie my shoes without bending over. Zag Edited February 5, 2017 by Freebird
Just-Jack Posted July 2, 2007 #2 Posted July 2, 2007 I would have to say that is the most interesting thing that I have seen in a while! My son said that it look like the bike from ghost rider now it just needs the flames Jessie:2132:
FROG MAN Posted July 3, 2007 #3 Posted July 3, 2007 Ghost Rider now that is a interesting thought. I got a motor hey yammer you got some spare parts and a welder?
Freebird Posted July 3, 2007 #4 Posted July 3, 2007 Actually pretty cool in a strange sort of way. Almost like a VMax/Venture on steroids.
juggler Posted July 3, 2007 #5 Posted July 3, 2007 Cool ride. It looks like it should throw flames out the exhaust if you hit a special hidden button.
jneed53 Posted July 3, 2007 #6 Posted July 3, 2007 Is there a fuel tank hidden beneath all that stunning beauty?
zagger Posted July 3, 2007 Author #7 Posted July 3, 2007 Is there a fuel tank hidden beneath all that stunning beauty? Yup. It's in the usual location-under the seat. Just about the only thing I didn't really change. Just blasted out the rust and coated the inside with nasty red stuff. zag
eagleeye Posted July 3, 2007 #8 Posted July 3, 2007 Zagger, Man, that is one cool ride! I love the ingenuity. Must be a blast to ride without all the plastic. I know that I'll get to see it someday. Your only a few miles away. Steve
Yammer Dan Posted April 22, 2010 #9 Posted April 22, 2010 Ghost Rider now that is a interesting thought. I got a motor hey yammer you got some spare parts and a welder? I got a frame. Don't need much plastic!!!
Skid Posted April 22, 2010 #10 Posted April 22, 2010 Not bad Yammer, only took close to two years for Frog Man to get a response from you. Where have you been?
Yammer Dan Posted April 22, 2010 #11 Posted April 22, 2010 Not bad Yammer, only took close to two years for Frog Man to get a response from you. Where have you been? :rotfl: Busy??? Thought I'd seen something like that before.....
mrich12000 Posted April 22, 2010 #12 Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) The rat has just been started. see the pics!! Edited February 5, 2017 by Freebird
GaryZ Posted April 22, 2010 #13 Posted April 22, 2010 83 Rat chopper Venture. Manual Vmax boost. Homemade pipes, forward controls, and everything else. VTX radiator. Misc. lighting. Well I guess you get the idea. Finally out of the basement and down the road. I can now tie my shoes without bending over. Zag Man, what does that beast sound like??? We need a sound sample! A picture of your manual Vboost would also be cool . . .
DragonRider Posted April 22, 2010 #14 Posted April 22, 2010 With all the bikes you have there, you ought to be able to build one good rat rod............who needs plastic!!!!!!!!!! Ghost Rider now that is a interesting thought. I got a motor hey yammer you got some spare parts and a welder?
curtised Posted April 22, 2010 #15 Posted April 22, 2010 Looks like fat old man Vmax. I'm 6'3" , 300 lbs, and approaching 60. I've been holding on to a Vmax wiring harness. You didn't whack a Venture harness I bet. With those filters and that exhaust, what jet sizes did you go with in the carbs? Curt
zagger Posted April 24, 2010 Author #16 Posted April 24, 2010 (edited) So - my friend eagleeye stopped by and told me that you guys were interested in multilated ventures. It has been awhile since I posted but I paid my $12 and relogged in. It has been a few years but I am still hacking on the beast. Here are a few pics. zag Edited February 5, 2017 by Freebird
zagger Posted April 24, 2010 Author #17 Posted April 24, 2010 You may have noticed my new forks that I'm working on. This is an old design that goes back to early BMW's and beyond. zag
Monty Posted April 24, 2010 #18 Posted April 24, 2010 Kewl. Very good looking. Oh, and the bike is sharp too....lol. Can anyone say "Mad Max"? Ain't I terrible?
zagger Posted April 24, 2010 Author #19 Posted April 24, 2010 Tried a couple of times to post more pics of my friend bree. If this one dies, I give up and disappear for another couple of years. zag
PBJ Posted April 25, 2010 #21 Posted April 25, 2010 Hey didn't I see that bike make a guest appearance in the last Terminator movie?
Dano Posted April 25, 2010 #22 Posted April 25, 2010 Tried a couple of times to post more pics of my friend bree. If this one dies, I give up and disappear for another couple of years. zag You can't give up! We NEED more pics of her on that bike! I'm sure she looks much better on there than you do! LOL!!
mmaleney Posted April 26, 2010 #23 Posted April 26, 2010 Did you get it to rev out good with no air box and did you have to change the jetting much. I am working on a chopper trike and I to would like to get rid of the air box.

BigBoyinMS Posted April 26, 2010 #25 Posted April 26, 2010 You may have noticed my new forks that I'm working on. This is an old design that goes back to early BMW's and beyond. zag Yeah, I noticed that leading link. Some of the homebuilt trike guys have been building a "one off" version of it and lovin' it.
