2. The main part, the chassis. Dave went in for metal fabrication and heres the final outcome:
3. Finally, everythings put into place.
4. The Aprillia a/t engine mounted:
5. Yes, the front suspension is a monoshock mounted into the centre hub.
6. In comes the seat. Positioning the seat accurately was a must as he wasnt cool with the idea of the lying-on-your-belly crouched riding position from the movie Pod.
7. The radiator at the rear.
8. Out of all, where would have one imagined the gas tank is. Luckily because of the design, there was a little space saving on the sides and beneath the engine. Dave made most of it and chipped in a proper fuel tank.
9. The Grappling hooks, gun and lamps get mounted although the weapons are just for show. Also, the original Pods monstrous Hoosier tires derived from the Tumbler( the Batmobile) were not practical and more so for cutting corners. Hence these huge 18" 360/13 chopper tires solved the problem.
10.Everything put together, the batteries were chipped in, it was time to roll!
11. Finally on board, ala TDK style!!
12. Seeing the first light of the day..and she gets rear discs too!
13. The alloys get the Bats too Superb customization.
14. Powder coating done, the babys ready to finally roll out on the tarmac. woow!
15. The awesomely done barrel gun exhaust. The Original Pods exhaust lay in the centre of the frame, but mr. Welch had some better creative ideas.
16. Yep! she gets proper turn indicators & a sexy slim LED tail light. Who wants mud flaps!!
17. This is the place-to-be. The side bars are fitted with the turn indicators, an engine kill switch, rear view mirrors and infact a place to hold cell phones as well! Beat that
18. A few views..
19. The man, the knight and the machine..
20. And last but not the least, a wicked arrangement for this must have unit. Guessed up??
Have a look..
