Smoke, mirrors, magnets, beer, ***** and magic (in no particular order) :mrgreen:

This just keeps getting better and better, hopefully I can get a 'sneak peek' in a couple of weeks.

You bet Tank.

Maybe I will make the logo disks float with electro magnets where it will spin as I ride along. 8)

You know, that aluminum-foil-for-mocking-up-stuff is a good idea.

Not quite, I know exactly what I will be doing, but I need to work on other areas of the bike first.

I just sat out in the shop with a notebook and tried to work out lists of everything that still needs to be done on this ride. Kind of daunting when you see it all on paper!

Thanks Tom, Duct tape is not the only tool out there for mockups. I have also been using the silver foil tape a lot lately. It's great with a chrome bike.

Jake,
I usually keep it in this big ole melon head of mine, but lately I felt like I was jumping around a bit and I needed to do an inventory of what else is needed. Especially when there are six weeks left.

I wonder if I can get the Mary Jane Girls to pose in my photo shoot.

IBJ2B!!!!!! Love it!!!

Re: Flex{\\\}Liner 7 TwinFlexSpaceliner 6/22 Stickshift Plan

Postby kingfish254 on Fri Jun 22, 2012 9:58 pm

I don't think I am going to cut up the skipttoh chainring to make my shifter handle extension.
I kind of liked the idea of using a coaster brake arm. The shape is about right but they may be a little small.

I mocked up the size and general shape I think I need.

First Gear

Seventh Gear

I think I might get one of these red 7 ball drawer pulls to mount at the forward end sticking out from the side.
Image

I think I might use this stuff to make it.
