Help Support Rat Rod Bikes Bicycle Forum:
Sweet dude you're probably the only guy with those sweet bikes in the entire island eh? Have you been to Rivervale Mall yet? :mrgreen:
ExtraBlaze said:I liked this before but that light set up is off the chain!Awesome work.
thanks buddy! that's very kind of you to say..... :lol: stay tuned though....there's more stuff coming up.... got some work to do on the "tank" that houses the batts and also thinking of a suitable rear light treatment. :?
the batts are strapped to a length of alu stock and bolted onto the standoffs in between the acrylic "tank" sides...."tank" plates are 10mm thick acyllic, chamfered for a more finished look
on the other side, i had to take off some material with my mill to clear the stick shifter's clamp
i'm thinking of either sticking some vinyl sticker just for colour or perhaps get a graphic printed out on reverse decal and adhere it to the inside... i'm still working out the details as i go along...
check out my stretch man!
hey what are those support bracket on the springer from??? im trying to make mine look more military and those would help!

WISH I COULD GET AHOLD OF A PAIR OF THOSE!!
my dual lights we like that on my chopper, but now my dual lights are on either side of the fork
finally! some progress on the tanks i made....
decals came in, artwork was done using photoshop.... as usual, the colours that appear on the screen did not come through as is... oh well, can't really complain as it was done FOC... :lol:
well, here are a couple of pictures until i get a chance to take proper outdoor photos..
oh, i also grafted on my old gear knob from my car onto the stick shift....

That's one of the sweetest trikes I have ever seen...very nice!
Great touch with the shifter knob. I can't believe all of the details you keep layering on! Sweet! 8)

thanks dude! i realise that when i cant go out and ride, i sit here and stare at my bikes and i think of something else i'd wanna do......i just hope i won't come to a stage where its "over done" ifyouknowhatimean??? :shock:
well, looks like this project is still not done...
this was the first attempt at a truck bed.... didn't like it too much... so i tossed it on the back burner thinking of picking up the project sometime in the future...
but after seeing Big Al's trike with that really cool radio flyer outback, i knew i had to finish mine as well...
so i tore down the first "yucky" version (above) and built this (below) from the remains and scraps and this is what i came up with.. more slammed feel to it to match the rest of the trike
kinda felt it was too "HEAVY" so.... i took it off again and hacked more material off... to make it lighter?
finally had some time to paint it last week and i got to rattle can the scallops on after dinner today.
still not done as i need to do some dark blue or black lines to outline the scallops...
should be done soon.... i hope :shock:
stay tuned!
