I really like the twin driving lights. IMHO they trump the others you have mocked up before.

Pages and views don't mean much to me. Heck half the views are problably from me trying to figure out what I need to do.

I know but it would be pretty cool to say that you accumulated 100 pages in one thread in only 3 months, it will be a pretty cool accomplishment especially in the shadow of me winning the #1 trophy.

Keeping pace to have a zero dollar build. Just sold a seat , bars, and seat bag that more than cover what I spent on the new lights and other stuff I bought the past week.

It would be pretty cool I guess, but I have a feeling that is going a very small shadow.

Thanks guys for the feedback on the TwinLights.

I am going to mount them on the front truss brace on either side of the 54 Chevy Eagle head.

[kingfish254]

After deciding the front headlight positions, I started thinking about wiring. Then I remembered one of my favorite BO6 builds Tri-Polar and his floating tank. Hmmmmmm could that work for me and what would it look like???????



I had the tank from the ladies (MF) Metor Flite that the backend came from. The Spaceliner frame has a little lip off on the back end of the headtube for mounting tanks. The MF tank was already angle as you see it to bisect the angle of the Spaceliner tubes.

If I use this it will be painted anodized red and probably have some graphics, striping, or leterring on it.

Here are the mockups.

Thanks to jpromo, I can use the dogleg, so I cleaned up the dogleg and star chainring on the wire wheel and then polished them up a little.

[kingfish254]

Finally found the right opaque red plastic I wanted for the chainguard louvers.

Man this brought memories of "book reports".
Ignore the flame stickers. My first attempt involved those between the louvers and red plastic (FAIL).
(By the way, the stickers along with some other ones where on the clearance end cap at Advance Auto for only a buck a sheet!!!!)



But my second attempt gets flying colors!!!





I still need to mount the LEDs to the upper inside of the guard.

I received a great compliment from the guy that bought the Serfas Rx seat from me. When he looked at the chainguard exhaust closely, he told me, "great welds". LOL, Then I told him they were attached with dowel rods and screws.

Brilliant idea on using the notebook to dissipate the light, it looks great.

You could probably just enter the chain guard as your build and get votes.

Thanks, it took a while to find the right one. Most were too thin or too clear or too pink or purple.

Thanks peat, one big thing that I really need to do is mount up the dogleg and the chainguard and make sure the crank doesn't hit. Can't believe I did think of verifying this before.

Then I need to mount the LEDs and power/switch them.


Any opinions on the floating tank idea from teh previous page?

[raggedjim]

I'm not feeling it, too many lines intersecting the headtube for me.

I like the idea, but not on this particular build.

You may be right. I had to try it. I may even mark it up red in photoshop to see if that makes any difference. I have a couple of backup battery ideas for the front lights. The weekend is here to work them out.
