well if you do break it down I might want that fork too lol

I found this one CL for only $30 its a 24" but still for only thirty bucks I couldn't pass it up! I think it might be a western flyer?

Well now I know who scored on this one, I sent them an email right away but guess you beat me to it! I dig that licence plate on it, if your looking to sell just the plate I would love to pick it up from you.

It's an old Fairbanks Morse magneto, I think its a 5.5 h.p. engine. The weight and size of it shouldn't be a problem for me, I'm a tall guy and dwarf most bikes when I'm on them. Now I just need to start thinking of how to have the frame :lol:

I have been wanting to build a boardtrack racer for some time now but the only thing standing in my way was a cool engine. I had one of those kits off of ebay and well it was fun it wasn't what I was looking for. Too small, a two stroke and it didn't look right in that much frame space. I was on...

Welcome can't wait to see some bikes from ya. I'm also in the Portland-ish area, gotta love the weather here!

My other baby, a 1986 ford thunderbird turbocoupe 5 speed

I put the chain in a vise and drove the pin almost all the way out making sure it stayed in the last plate then reconected it and used the vise to press it back into place. If you don't have a vise you could use a piece of metal with a hole in it to drive it free and pliers to press it back in...

I still need to do a little bit more finish sanding on my fir burl tank I lucked out on a huge piece of it for only ten bucks

It sure is and I needed half the extra links and the left overs will be going on my rat so I can use the ichi skiptooth cog for my nexus 3 speed which is running a stock cog with every other tooth ground down. I ordered it one tooth to many for the chain I got for that build. So it's gonna get...

My chain came in the mail today so I was able to put a CWC sprocket, a 175mm crank and a morrow drop center wheelset on her! Sadly after I got it all together and took her out for a spin I found out there was no brakes for some reason so at some point I will have to pull it all apart and figure...

Hope this helps you out That's with no race on the fork and the fork is a truss fork

Well after a ride to the post office to drop off a package to be shipped off to a fellow ratrod biker I noticed the bars slipped and I didn't want to crush them by tightening them more. I'm sure they would be fine with someone that didn't weigh 270 pounds cranking on them so I put on some old...

Ahhhh, well still cool that people on opposite sides of the country ended up with these and that they are gonna be ridden.

I have a CWC boys fork out in my shop, I can measure it in the morning for you.

It wasn't to bad, just a little work with a die grinder. The hardest part was waiting for the air compresser to build enough pressure to get it to work good. Just about everyone on here has had one of these sprockets at one point or another I wanted mine to not be the same

Are those bottom bracket bearings in his ears? HAHAHA!

Re: JC Higgins Ratty Build **1/24 Update!** HAHAHA, I see we must know the same person because I got the gray frame from that pile. I was wondering what happened to the red frame. I like how they both have the gray overspray on them Funny thing is I used a girls fork on mine too but it was...

I was at a friend of mines house today as it was on the way to goodwill and I had an ugly huge tv I was getting rid of and they guy next door overherd me saying I was going there to drop it off and he asked if it still worked and yes it did I just had no use for it and it was ugly to boot. I...

Thank you, I'm really digging it too. I put a bobbed fender on the back as well as a rack I had sitting around today. The rack had broken struts on it and they would of been too short anyways so I found some stainless rod laying around and forged the ends of it flat and drilled some holes and...
