Re: "RATS-ALT" (ALMOST)
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:

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).
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!sensor said:so far im liking the ideas the bikes throwing at you(or is that the twinkies talking

Re: "RATS-ALT" (ALMOST)
thanks for posting this it gives me an idea of how to mount my tank , nice bike by the wayKOTA said: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.
Will also get painted.
Bars ARE spaced evenly. Hard to get the right camera angle to see.

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.
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:Gdcast said:

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:
