Just started the build of my pre WWII 20" Rat Tracker. This is just a mild mock up for now. I have a sweet little 2 D cell battery tube coming in that I am going to mount across the handlebars like the old Acetelyne tanks on motorcycles during the teens. The headlight will be a small tea cup style mounted in front of the steer tube. I am also going to weld truss rods to the fork like the girder forks back in the day. This is going to have an authentic Indian head badge and the rims will be painted the same color as the frame. All plating will be nickle. The seat will be recovered in brown leather with Indians stamping. Still deciding on the paint, but it will be vintage style, probably dark Indian red with fine gold pinstriping.
