SCOOTER BUILD-OFF

[FatBoy]

Its my last day off and I finally got it into a roller!!! Its almost all welded up ,I still need to mount the pedal and make a deck but I wanted to make sure there were no suspension issues...And I rode it around the house and it works great just like it should, a little bouncy,but it doesnt bottom out and I have the front at 5" and the rear at 3 1/2"deck height and I can set it up alot stiffer so Im am stoked to say the least..

Love the lines mate, and that gusset looks great too.

That thing is RAD!!! I don't usually use that word 'cuz it's kinda dorky these days, but I couldn't help it! It was all I could do to not cuss.

Nice going there guys, but for $300 spent on C/L I think I got you guys beat.



The title of the Craigs List is EPIC CUSTOM LOWRIDER SCOOTER.
He left out the EPIC "FAIL" in the ad. And no, not for $300. Maybe for $30, Maybe.
Good Luck.

Got some 9-90 mounts welded up fer some stoppen. went with the 20"x3" front, and rear, got a deck from the local ckate shop 30$. blue break cables, and some odi clamp on grips...

All I need to do now is smooth out the rough welds, and shoot some color on it...

[FatBoy]

Man that came out Sweet! I bet your daughter loves it!Thats a cool scoot for such a quick build too

[FatBoy]

Getting Closer!!!Today I got most of the welding and grinding done except for the deck mounts and peak but its close to being finished.I got the rear brakes figured out,ran a cable through the frame,Fit the pedal and it works great and pulls 7"! I got the swingarm all welded and ground down its about ready to paint...

Thanks, no tektro's but I got a set of undermount shimanos that should work good and I redid the cable mount because I melted the first one and the cable wouldnt fit inside of it.Now I just have to peak the bottom of the frame and its ready for mud and paint!

[FatBoy]

Oh yeah I finished the deck mounts !

[skulldady]

Yeah im still gonna use diamond plate for the deck,I went to my local Hardware Store and they wanted 30 bucks for a thin piece 12" x 24" Dang thats way to much!!!The piece I have is twice as thick, its just not polished and I really didnt want to spend the time to polish it but I just might!Im making a template tonight and ill go from there!
