:lol: :lol: I think you're RIGHT!

This bike is starting to "talk" to me now!....And it's demanding my respect! He said he don't want NO tailpipe lookin chainguard....I said Okay.....He said he wanted Aero bars...I said: I ain't putting those STUPID bars back on!...WE compromised....He said the sun was in his eye(s). So I went in the old parts pile and found a baseball cap visor for him....We're both happy....But we're NOT done.

And yes, I keep showing the bike at the same angle....Gotta save something for the final shots. :roll:

so far im liking the ideas the bikes throwing at you(or is that the twinkies talking :p )
The twinkies are in the container under the seat....QUICK access, don't have to stop riding to get them. I think the twinkies are the "brains" of this build!........OH NO! Now it's TWO against ONE!

He said he wants a FENDER!......LOOK at me! I'm doing a bike with flipped bars AND a fender! :lol: :lol: Sensor, keep looking UP. It could happen (end-o-world).
 
Re: "RATS-ALT" (He's talkin)

That could use a wheelie bar :wink: That would also be a first for you :mrgreen:
 
Re: "RATS-ALT" (He's talkin)

Closer pics.
Is it RAINING out: YES
Do I CARE: NO! Bike can't get any rustier then it is.

Have to look at these for a while. Don't know if I like them...They'll be black.

Bars ARE spaced evenly. Hard to get the right camera angle to see.

So sorry Gdcast...I didn't know HE was a transcycle bike. Probably why he started talkin to me. WORD on the street is, HE likes ya, and just wants to be friends with ya ( he was flattered by you)...He also gave me the name of a good "Cycle-ogist", in case you needed one. :wink:

nelvolks: That idea came from NLCTVWguy, Rob, a moderator here. He told everyone where to get it. As you know, that's one of the great things about this site....EVERYBODY is willing to share.

socratesjpt: I have those, and also "lag" bolts. i don't know which ones I'll use in the end.

Re: "RATS-ALT" (He's talkin)

Tornado warnings are over (11PM). Had numerous tornados about 8-10 miles away. Nasty weather for about 6hrs...VERY unusual for this area. I wasn't going to bed until we were sure weather was stable, so I got a little work done....I bought a fender, made a MINI skirt (after all bike is from the 60's) cut it up, notched it out, beat it up a little and this is what I came up with. Put a quick coat of primer on to see how it flows. Just in place now, will mount it tomorrow. I gotta stare at it for a while, to see if I like it....NOT quite sure yet.

Started with this.

Your doing a superb job with the rear fender. It's got me hypnotized and nearly has me to the brink but the valve caps bring me back :shock: I still got to work out some details with my fender but hey, mine's longer than yours :wink:
