I just depends on how fat you wanna go. I put 2.3" Kenda Kiniptions on my wifes' flightliner without interference. They were 24" wheels, but you've already mentioned that's what you're running in back.

You know if you and Jake ever got together and built a bike, you could probably freak out the entire world.

*Double cool is, of course, twice as cool as just a plain old regular cool idea. And I don't throw out "double cools" just willy nilly either.


Thanks Peat. I think the world has to evolve a little more before they would be ready for Jake and Brian mega build. If we did one now, it would just blow everyone's mind's like a hippie at Woodstock!

Loud, Thanks for the input. Mine will be 24" wheels but the tires are 24" x 3" Thick Bricks, so a little wider than your 2.3" tires. I'll just have to mount one of these bad boys and see what kind of clearance I need. For a few differnt reasons, I am kind of diggin' my idea of blending the Meteor Flite frame into the Spaceliner, so I may just go that route regardless.

You asked how fat do I wanna go. You know the answer to that question (just look at Fugsley). MO FATTA MO BETTA

Re: FlexLiner?? - MO FATTA MO BETTA 5/16 New Name

Postby kingfish254 on Wed May 16, 2012 5:55 pm

Man, I can't wait until I get to building.
I just had another idea that may make me change the name to FlexLiner.

I still plan to use the back end from the MeteorFlite, but I will cut off the long twin tops. Depending on a lot of factors, I am thinking of attaching the MeteorFlite rear to the Spaceliner in a Huffman TwinFlex fashion. I will probably have to weld on the Spaceliner, but if this looks and functions the way I want it to, it will be worth burning a little chrome.

Jet Lag definitely describes how I am feeling, but it doesn't matchup with the build at all.

I am really excited at building my own TwinFlex Spaceliner. Stay tuned.

Great to see you karfer! The reason for the delay is that I was on vacation in Southeast Asia drinking some wimpy asian beer. I just got home 2 days ago and I am ready to pop the top of some dark strong American craft brew.

Has anyone ever tried making a TwinFlex rear end on RRB? I can't find one. I am pretty stoked about giving it a shot on my Spaceliner. Work begins this weekend.
