    Truck Bike Racks

    Do the hitch you won't regret it strap on anything is a bad idea especially with heavy bikes. I have a receiver on all my vehicles even the pop up camper just for bikes. Besides with that small bed you're going to need a trailer:grin:

    Prewar + Postwar = My first rat build (fully assembled but build not done)

    Whitefiretiger I'v noticed that some of the steerer tubes have a smaller I.D. Towards the bottom you may have reached this spot on that fork. It looks like about 2 1/2" cut off. the old stems are pretty short and couldn't really go in too far so they didn't have the thin part of the tube go down...

    Powder coating, curing trial.

    The effect you are having on the areas where the part touches the exp. metal is called Faraday effect basically the charge builds up in the corner formed by the part and the exp. metal before it gets enough powder it then repels further powder deposits.

    Coaster Brake Arm Mount

    Making racks and tanks..

    Thanks every one. The bike is a heavy with all that solid 5/16 rod though I'd like to do one in SS tube for weight savings though. Rob just look at some misc. junk and sometimes these things just come. I had been looking at those 3" pipe hangers for a year I liked their shape and the slots they...

    Good score! You should have a lot of fun with that. But look out it can be addicting. Here is what I've been doing with my setup. http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/index.php?threads/home-powder-coat-trial.73271/page-3#post-781954
