Lady Higgins

[carolina rat]

Here is another lowrider that I made for the lady. This bike was modified the same way that the Ratphoon was, a big pipe. My wife liked that bike so much I created this one for her. The patina on this bike is great and look awsome sitting beside Ratphoon! Notice use of the pedal as the kickstand. I have the fender that came off the front of the bike, I thought off mounting it on the back and making it look bobberish. 8)

You didn't actually bend the fork blades right....just the neck tube???

Those blades sure look swoopy.

I only bent the blades of the forks. The fork is not all the way on in the picture and that is why you see a gap. The bearing retainer is a little small on the forks and needs to be pushed down futher. If you try to bend at the fork tube it will BREAK!!! Don't ask how I know. :x

If you will look under my other bike Ratphoon, also in this gallery and their is a full discussion on how to bend them. As for the blade length and tires, it is the standard length 26" fork with 26x2.125 tires.

Nice! I love the forks, and the truss rods too. And they're kind of nice since they'll take a little bit of pressure off of the fork.
