bring your neck with yaa to the dump!
if you see Handle Bars your wondering about you can size em up.

heck..bring the whole bike with yaa.it doesn't hurt for true measurments to have it in the Truck!

"outsider13" seems to be the master at adapting true Harley Ape Hangers to Bicycles so PM him..
I'm sure he'd help yaa out..
Your bikes looking great!

Don't be so sure about that, I rode my tallbike around for a year before anyone told me there was a guy who has been building them for years less than a mile from where I work. I rode that bike all over and hundreds of people talked to me about it and asked me questions about it. I rode it to several bike shops, a half dozen critical mass rides, the bike collective etc... Nobody ever said a word. I still don't know exactly where this mystery builder lives, I've just heard a couple of people mention his wacky bikes. I'll bet unless you live in a town of less than 5,000 people, there's someone that's into rat rods, even if they don't know what to call them.

well the town i live in is pritty small but not that small. it takes me 45 min to walk from one end of town to the other...

i just think it would be cool to ride with other people with off the wall bikes, not to be confuesd with "off the shelf bikes"
