Thanx Luke...
Didnt think they weighed that much...Guys quoting $60 for postage...
I guess some people think postal prices and weights arnt online...
Will go with 16" was hoping to find a 12" for the front?
Still no name, seem to be havin Bikers Block... :lol:
 
Re: Upside down you turn me....

I have wanted to do a couple of builds with a 12" front, but when I go to do the mock-up it just seems too small, might be because those builds have had too big a rear tire though...

Re: Upside down you turn me....

The white, with exactly the same shape and dimensions, costs less to ship than the black one. Hmmmm....
 
Re: Upside down you turn me....

They arnt to bad.Abaxo has always been good with his shipping quotes..Thanx Luke.

But I managed to cut the shape from ply wood,soaking in bucket of water to start bending the end...Have vinyl and foam.
So homemade nanna seat... $0.00 :D

Rustysprockets nothing gets past you.... :lol: Nice pick-up...
 
Re: Upside down you turn me....

Cut out the seat shape on a bit of ply wood,soaked in water for a few days.


Made the seat clamp holder from a square bit of metal,similar to what Luke uses for his spokes... :wink:


Sanded and shaped:


Next is to sponge and cover the seat:

Found this at the Gypsy camp,thought it would be useful as a sissy bar:


Cut up some old handle bars to make some apes!!!
