Then I turned it into this with the help of some powder coat, that seat is actually off of my old folding Dahon :) !!! (rip lil buddy big trucks always win against folding bikes :( )

I wanted more Outta this Bike I wanted a fat front tire so bad!!! so with the help from a 79 cbr 500 I got some triple trees and started fitment. the stem was way to short so i had to trim the Head tube, if youve never done this it is a royal pain in the kyster!! an old huffy miss america donated me some apes and walmart lied to me and said the seat was water proof never trust the walmart! I cut the pedals up too! i think they looked cooler, ones black cause im still unsure if i like bare or black haha

then ideas were sparked from watching the Fugsley Build, I always wondered if those harley tires fit and then I was shown they did!!! Thanks KingFish! you da man, F.F.L. (Fugsley For Life!)

Hope you all like what you see!! and remember Rat on and Rat hard!
 
Love it man!
There is some very cool stuff going on with this beast!
Love the way you warped the chain around the tire. Kinda like what Angelina does with a bullet in that assassin movie.
 
That's crazy.... like a primary drive on a Harley, meat-grinder style.
 
Great work on your fatty!!!
I really like the way you did the drivetrain.
MO FATTA MO BETTA!
 
Nice work! Maybe make a guard / cover for it so it looks like a primary cover on a chopper? Awesome work keep it up!
 
pretty crazy gearing and tires man haha..
i have had three of these, things always kept getting in the way and i never got much done till the last one i just bought two weeks ago.
'working at an harley shop i may be able to get some used tires, cheap eh free' :roll:

Currently tinkering on this one..

Brakes are good! How have you stopped that mount plate from spinning?

If you look really close (i was trying for a zoomed in shot, lol) inside the diamond on the front dropout is a grade eight allen head bolt that flush mounted oh so perfect wit h a nut on the back side. I'll try and get some better pics for ya :wink:
