    CHOPPERSUS?

    I have used ChoppersUS. Great service, great quality and shipping is so QUICK! You can save money buying from various places but, if you are working off a list of "things" you need, you loose the gain in shipping costs. Therefore, I'll use ChoppersUS to gather as much as I need. My other...

    Did someone say "upside down frame"?

    Nice looking bike! That yellow is a killer. That frame is a one of a kind and just looks right! On a personal note...thanks for the pic of the Bay Bridge....I used to live on Yerba Buena Island....I can see my old quarters in your pic! Thanks so much.

    Enjoy it you will!! Those KK's are wonderful cruisers and you can really get used to being so slow and low. Here's what I did to my KK Roadster (see below).

    Lots of registered members, but how many active members?

    I stop by a couple of times each day and read the new posts. Time permitting, I will go back through some of the builds and dream about what some of you guys have produced. Lots of inspiration! I may not post every day but hey, I sure do lurk. Regards to all!

    Welcome to the forum. I also thought you meant Fort Worth (I used to live in Mansfield Rat Rod) -- forgot about that place up North. :) That's a nice looking black bike you have ... can't say I have seen that one before.

    new roadster

    Oh WOW !! Another KK on the road! 8) You are gonna love such a sweet riding bike. I got mine a couple weeks ago from Bicycle Bananas. The box survived FedEx shipping with only a few dings in the box. One axle poked through the box (it didn't have a plastic axle cover on it) and buggered...

    New guy, no laughing!

    Welcome to the forum. I am so glad to see someone take a Wally World special and fix it into a one of a kind bike. That's what it really is all about -- doing things on the cheap. However, the bug will hit you and then whoosh----time to drop some bucks on the toys, haha. Looking forward to...

    Dyno Bike History?

    Yeah...you gotta go with the Kustom Kruiser now days. It's a Dyno with a name change but, still considered a Dyno by most of the Slown-Lo Pedal Scraper guys. When you get into the Micargi Mustang, 8Ball Limousine or Fayaa4You then, you are talking fakes. The guy -- or maybe one of the guys...

    Where to buy tools

    Nashbar.com and Performancebike.com sell tools under the name of Spin Doctor or Nashbar. They are decent quality tools for the garage mechanic. NOt as good as Park Tool but, decent.

    pickup truckbed bike rack

    Hey elvis....just take your time and make sure everything fits before gluing. Also, make sure you measure correctly so the rack with not shift left to right in the back of your pickup. I wrapped the top bar with pipe insulation to keep from scratching the front of the bed. Make sure you...

    The Psycle Elgin

    The Bell saddle is decent for the $26 they want for it. The vinyl cover seems to be good stuff. the chrome trim on the back and sides is made of plastic rather than metal. That is too bad. It is a good saddle for looks, comfortable to sit on. However, not sure how it would handle rain...
