Beer Boy Delivery... Final product on Finished thread! ...while I've been waiting....this:

[Fv2]

Looks good, I'd ride it til the wheels fell off. Some leather straps with brass buckles might be a nice touch.

Tonight's work...I had rescued this former generator powered tail light a few years ago at the bike shop during a repair. "Can you take those old lights off and throw them for me?" the customer said. "Ah, yeah, sure I'll take care of them for you"(hee hee hee) I pulled the guts and the wire, hack sawed the rear end to fit the screw in cap from the mini LED flashlight that I hid inside. Gives off a nice warm, vintage orange-red glow (hard to see in these pics). I knew that rear rack would come in handy for something....

 

[Fv2]

Dig the light,the flashlight deal works well...thankfully there are dollar stores.

I'm into the rack, looking for a long wide rack to finish off the curves of my viscount.

 

[OddJob]

Got my Pletscher double kick to balance the loaded bike when she's "well stocked"...Swiss made, nearly the price of a Swiss watch?! Left it long so I can use it on my Fat Rat when it's in Bar T.A.B. mode....http://www.instructables.com/id/BAR-TAB-Take-Along-Bar/

...and the Fat Rat with the "open" Bar T.A.B. ....

...so following the lead of a few others here, I have added a video with my newest addition to Beer Boy, and an overview of the bike so far....

Great video! Dusty looks like a good companion.

Great video! Dusty looks like a good companion.

Yeah, he's the best. And at 11 years old still going strong.

 

[Glen]

Thanks for the video update... nice music in the background too.

Nice work on the light and video.
I doubt you have two of them, but it would look cool if you had two lights mounted beneath the rack.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Great video!
Loving that light, it suits the look perfectly!

Luke.

I just smiled when I read your comment. I really wanted to mount it down low under the rack, but like you said, I need two of them...there's still time...

 

[OddJob]

Thanks for the kudos guys! I value your judgement and experience. Here is a still shot of the light before I closed it up.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

I forgot to mention the reflector earlier, very cool thinking!

Thanks Luke! Hey, how do you add the "check out the "outlaw" build off #10" notice to your profile so it shows up on your posts? Mine look a little blah compared to you and kingfish and others... And are you a fan of the Aussie licorice? This Lucky Country brand is made in USA, but fashioned after yours. Soooo gooood!

Thanks Luke! Hey, how do you add the "check out the "outlaw" build off #10" notice to your profile so it shows up on your posts?

If you click on your name at the top right of the screen it will bring up your control panel, the section you want is "Signature"

And are you a fan of the Aussie licorice? This Lucky Country brand is made in USA, but fashioned after yours. Soooo gooood!

Not sure if Aussie licorice is just our normal stuff or not, maybe that is all I have ever had?

Luke.

Glen, I'm a jazz fan and guitar player myself. I have a duo with an upright bass player and we play a lot of holiday (Christmas season) gigs. If you would like to hear some of our stuff, go to https://soundcloud.com/lee-meadows-and-the-lark and listen to the "Lee Meadows Live at Claddaugh Coffee" segment. If you like bluegrass, the band I play with "Glory Bound" is on that site as well. "Glory Bound: Live at Central Park" is a good time!

Great stuff man. Love the bar. .Peace

Jake, I am on Instructables.com and that Bar T.A.B gleaned me 2nd place in the recent Small Spaces contest. Another really fun site! Looking forward to trying it out during our outdoor concert season starting up in a month here in the north country.

 

[gowjobs]

Great stuff! When my friends from down under were visiting, I was repeatedly reminded that they actually pronounce it: "ozzie".

....after taking the weekend off to attend to the rest of my life, I am back with a video showing my next step on the Beer Boy Delivery build. If you want to see the A to B of how I got to this:

...then watch this. Starring "Dusty Roads Scholar" the trusty shop dog...
