    I think the black rims against the blackwall tires looks awesome!

    Lowco Liner (aka Sunday Best)

    Being the ..... that I am, I re-injured my back flipping the Liner over and back and over and back yesterday. Gonna take a few days off from it to heal. Here are a few daylight pics from yesterday’s progress Taillight mount Fender modification to clear the chain wiring detail of headlight into...

    OK, your gears are really churning now bud! I kinda like the idea/look of a β€˜camshaft’ with the nuts and washers, but I also get TRM’s suggestion of using some small toothed sprockets. I bet there’s some sort of β€˜rebuild kit’ at Home Depot to fix a washer or dryer or space modulator that could...

    Lowco Liner (aka Sunday Best)

    Buttoned up quite a bit today, first off it’s a β€˜rider’ (but also a rub-er). I need to swap out the nylocks on the tail light mount with standard nuts and split lock washers because the tire is touching them under rider load. I also need to massage the indents on the front fender like I did on...

    Lowco Liner (aka Sunday Best)

    Back felt a little better in the afternoon, so I wired up the β€˜horn’ (it’s a 110dB siren actually) and the headlight. I was able to get everything in one side of the tank. I’m pretty happy with the way it turned out. As you can see, I used quick disconnects so I could remove the tank half for...

    Lowco Liner (aka Sunday Best)

    Pulled my back out yesterday doing some yard work, so progress may slow down for a couple days, but I was looking at the proposed position of the port/starboard flashlight/taillight I plan to use. My initial thought was to place it on the apex of the rear fender, but I have a couple of...

    Lowco Liner (aka Sunday Best)

    Was feeling unmotivated to do my yard work this morning and awaiting a FB response on a truck I’m interested in, so decided the fork had dried enough and it was time to reassemble it and the front end of the bike. I replaced the clevis pins with stainless bolts and nylocks. That way I could...

    Lowco Liner (aka Sunday Best)

    Today I came to the conclusion that these 26x2.35 (2.8 when stretched on these rims) just weren’t gonna fit this frame. I could try to indent the chainstays but at this point I don’t want to mess up the powdercoating on the frame. So, the Solanas went back on the Higgins and I’m gonna run the...

    Silver King Unchained: BELT DRIVE....What a ride~!

    Nice touch you’ve got planned OJ! I’m running 7/8” motorcycle bars on my build with similar lock-on grips. I β€˜persuaded’ my end caps in with a rubber mallet 🀣🀣🀣
