That brake arm idea is pretty nifty. I didn't realize there were cool brake arms like that. Now that is something else I have to keep an eye out for.

They would be candidates for rockers too! Thanks for getting the 'wheels' spinning!

The Flexliner looks great! I'm jealous of that Nexus 7, YOURS is actually laced, unlike mine... :roll:

Thanks peat, I am kinda leaning to making my own custom one as a stickshift.

It's always cool to see the level of design that went into old stuff.

It's funny how ideas snowball around here. Green posted a pic of a ND arm and all of a sudden I saw it was the right shape that I needed, so I posted some ideas here as a shifter which has sparked you to think of them as rockers,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Thanks tank. Don't feel bad Tank, the LBS thought they had the right size spokes in stock and laced it up only to find they were 3mm too long (sound familiar?). So they had to unlace it and order spokes.

That's a cool compliment. But I have surely seen plenty of other crazy things on other builds past and present here.

Hmmmmmmmm, I will definitely have to noodle on that one Dragon! Nice out of the box thinking.
Thanks man. The lines you drew for the truss wings are pretty close to the masking tape mockup I did. I will revisit that whole section later on.
I really appreciate the insight and suggestions. Things that make you wanna go Hmmmmmmm!!!

That's part of the fun of traveling.You never know what might pop up in places you least expect.I found the bike that donated it's fork for Bat Rod at the Fruita Fat Tire Festival while cruising around town after the Clunker Criterium.Keep your eyes peeled :shock:

Jay, I got mine at a yard sale for cheap. I think they are motorcycle bars. I believe the style is called clubman.

Thanks for the compliments. Can't wait to get the rear arms welded up so this can become a rider. I love the light and have much more in store for it. I think it is a 40s-50s police search light.
