Well my other guess was a spike/stud.

i think that answer is close enough to say....
WINNER, WINNER, CHICKEN DINNER!

Re: honey badger w/ a winner

didnt get much done this weekend.
the name honey badger came about because i wanted this bike to be a honey mustard(dirty yellow) color. well i picked this out and its straight honey gold :shock:
while i was painting it all i could think was goooold-finger. the man with the midas touch :lol:
oh, well. more updates later this week i think.

Re: honey badger

That VHT is some good stuff. I have been using high temperature engine clear coat on my bikes, seems to produce a really tough finish compared to regular clears.

Got the spikes in the mail today, these things are cool, going to see if I can incorporate them in the build, may not be headbadge holders, but will get prominence.

Re: honey badger

Thanks,man!Your bike is looking good.I like the head badge treatment,too.

Re: honey badger

so, this is the spark that made me wanna build this bike. when i recieved this sprung saddle in the mail my 1st thought was these motorcycle seat hairpin springs i had left over. yes theyre bein used, but where?
you guys are pretty bright/creative i bet you can figure it out. no prize this time

 

[beatcad]

Re: honey badger

i guess it wasnt to hard to imagine where those seat springs were goin.

gonna make my own rockers. allthough they may not "rock".
when i originally mocked this up those springs are super stiff and really had little "spring"
so i will probably just bolt it in solid instead of using rocker nuts.
i'm also gonna change the configuration of the rockers to a motorcycle springer style.
keep the fulcrum the same but switch the effort and resistance. isnt science fun! :lol:
i'm gonna move the axle in front of the front leg.

Re: honey badger

Your setup looks great

isnt science fun! :lol:

Yes it is and thanks for sharing it

Some science is fun... the science you know, and I just make up stuff like you are talking about, so how about tell me what shape rockers I need for my springer!
