Re: honey badger
It looks so good it's almost a shame to finish it! I always struggle with when to stop adding things.
Keep at it, Rg

Re: honey badger- tech tip
ok this tech tip is not for the grey beards, or grey hairs, or no hairs :shock:
this is for the young'uns that aint figured this out yet.
i'm workin on the rockers for my bike and heres kinda how i did it.
makin a mount or bracket is easy enough, but sometimes you have to make 2 of them that are exactly alike. well when that's the case do it this way. this will work for any shape steel-triangle,oval,parallelagram, whatever.
this is just strap steel.
drill and bolt the 2 pieces together
mark and drill the holes. now theyre all lined up.
trim down the exess. you mite have to move the orig clamping bolts to the new bolt holes, but i guess ya figured that out by now
now i got 2 matchin parts.
now i need a little more shaping and finer sanding, but i think thisll work :wink:
if this helped 1 young guy or gal than my work is done. :lol:

Dude. Why didn't you post that before I drilled my brake arm rockers? Now I know, your knowledge has been distributed!
Thanks, and your build is going great, Rg

Re: honey badger- tech tip

Genius,pure genius!!--Nuff said
beatcad said: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- tech tip
so in a spaced out momentary lapse of mindlessness you sat there looking immensely at those seat springs and poof!* :idea: the idea filled your mind with a cool thought that you just had to make a reality and so there it is in all its reality - a custom springer . :lol:

Re: honey badger- tech tip
rockers installed(looslely). besides puttin the wheel 1 1/2" forward it'll also lower the bike by maybe an inc in the front.
that's partly why i cut the fender/headlight mount extension off the fork. cause i didnt know if it would rub. also to look cool 8)
just for fun heres a pic of a stock rocker setup for comparison.

Re: honey badger- tech tip
the car is a valiant (69 i believe) it's my neighbors. its pretty handy to have another car&motorcycle guy next door.
i told myself i wouldnt put white walls on a bike for awhile because i've done that on maybe 5 bikes allready and i like to switch thing up.
well a pal of mite brought me a pair the other nite, and theyre just so cool i gotta use 'em.
one is a balloon brick pattern, but the other is a slick. fresh from smoopys!
yeah, i gotta run these.
than sun another friend and i went to meet a guy that had a bunch of motorcycles & parts.
he had exactly what i wanted brand new. a 7/8 drag bar
yup. more motorcycle parts on this bike
