Re: Moto-Muscle! First ride!
That is looking like a muscle bike Joosh!
I cant believe someone has a build up and riding already! I need to get my act together!

Re: Moto-Muscle! First ride!
It may be riding, but its nowhere near finished! There is a lot of bodywork and finishing to do.

Re: Moto-Muscle! First ride!
So, for the mounting of the sissy bar... I am thinking of mounting it an inch or two in front of the axle like this:
Then the angles will line up with the steerer tube.
Here is what it will look like at the axle (I would have to bend the sissy bar like crazy to clear it.)
What do you guys like more?

Re: Moto-Muscle! Sissy bar question.
I think you are right, the first one looks better to me!

Re: Moto-Muscle! Sissy bar question.
Both look good in the examples, but I think #1 might be at risk for falling back because of weight. That's why #2 just looks more "correct" to me.

Hmm. Well the sissy bar will provide no structural support because the thing mounting the seat is made to support my weight. I might even leave it off.

That why I said the second one... Looking at it only from a "looks" perspective... :wink: Whatever you do, you are onto a winner, the bike is turning out really cool!Joosh said:

Re: Moto-Muscle! Sissy bar question.
Sissy bar is on! I bit the bullet and drilled through the frame. I think I will end up lowering the bar to the arch. It looks much better to me.
Obviously, I'm going to cut down the bolts.
