Here's my Ratty 8.

Sweet! I like it a lot!

Heres my allmost stock S8, planning to go the way yours is.

I guess I might as well throw in a pic of my Jeremy trike. Still a work in progress, though.

Looking Good Rooski!

I took the Ratty 8 apart again.
I'm going to transform it into " The Superbird ".
Here you can see more about the bike, and what my plan is.

That is the coolest trike kit I've ever seen. Bought part or something of your own creation?

It's just a marriage of 2 different bikes, with some tweeks. You can see more info at the below link.

What rims and hubs are on this bike? I'm guessing 24x3in or 80mm wide? Also does anyone know what the stock rim width is on an electra ghostrider?

@ alaska. The top Ghostrider has 24x3" wheels on the back and 24x2.5" in the front with the stock Fatti-O tires on it. This is pretty much the widest setup possible on this frame without major mods. The rear hub is a S/A 8 speed with 130 OLD that BARELY gives me enough chain clearance.

The bottom Ghostrider has the stock rims/hubs and on the back I put a 24x4.25" tire and it also BARELY has enough chain clearance, but fills out the rear nicely:) Hope this helps.

My straight 8....first pic is the day i got it, second pic is today.

Reflectors removed
headlight added
horn added
apes/grips/mirror added

coming up:
relocate shifter to frame, create suicide shift
pinstriping on fender/frame/fork
try to get a ford model A tailight, convert to LED and battery pack, and install.

That last one i may need some help on...ive got no elec experience.

Really nice Rat Fink olschbp. Will you tell me the brand and availability on the springer setup. I have a Boney Finger and would love to do the same with mine. I can't find anything compatible. Thanx

The stock Ghostrider / Rat Fink wheels are 1 1/4" wide.

d/str 865 is a smooth bike too ride...
my wife's Rosie in the back -minus the front fender (took it off temp.)

Nice Rockabilly!

Anyone know if you can swap out uni-crown forks that are on newer versions of the Straight 8 or Rockabilly with the triple tree forks that are on this Rockabilly? I believe the frames are identical so I assume this will work, but I need confirmation. Thanks!
