Cool, next time I'm in the valley I'll swing in. I have family in Mission Hills and SCV still.

Mocked up the 26" springer today, still need to measure and trim the stem down. Need to trim the sissy bar, too. Both will be like butter on the chop saw. Also, modified a set of boring generic grips. Thread here...

No issues, just slid them on until I felt the reflector botom out on the bar end...little Aqua-Net and Bob's yer Uncle. Yes, I still need to trim the springer stem, just a mock-up at the moment.

Anyone can purchase amber or red reflector end grips. Has anyone else attempted to make their own? Not ground breaking technology, but it was a fun little experiment after I go the idea. I used a threaded aluminum nipple and honed out the inside at an angle until it was razor sharp, then used it...

I was wondering about that, because this thread is in regard to you creating looptials. I was like, hey he already makes those? Do you have a store front in the valley, or? I'm out in the IE now, originally from the valley, but grew up in SCV.

Saw your bikes on e-bay, so Rad.

Land Speed :nerd:

Yep, I recognized the logo straight away. I grew up skiing behind jet boats on the lakes and rivers in Ca and Az in the mid 70's through mid 80's. Spent many hours polishing as a young teen. I'd give about anything for a chrome one like this.

Good, God. I'm in lust.

Well done!

Also, to me this Schwinn Rumbler is more of Cook Brother throwback/tribute bike. But like the word "bobber" it appears that "klunker" is now a catch phrase marketing word to grab the consumers attention. Like Retro, Patina, Vintage etc etc.

Like everything else....starts off as an underground trend. Then slowly it becomes a fad, then commercialized. If you're into motorcycles the whole "Bobber" thing exploded in the last 10 years. Now people even call choppers "bobbers" silly people.

Wow, what a great story! We need more of this in lieu of doom and gloom.

Not sure, but I am sure its very little :nerd:

Saw this posted on FB this am. It took me a second when I was looking at the wheels, then it dawned on me. A GT Overdrive (I think?) with about $2,000 worth of forged Weld dragsters front rims and Hoosier tires. Now he can go 300mph+ with no worries.

Ha! That's awesome.

Reminds me of:

Cool, Bomonster skull. I've been following him for years and see him at cars shows from here to TX. One of my daughters collects his art.

I actually like the aggressive BMX/Mtn Bike head angle. What I don't like is that it doesn't come with a 3peed hub. Can always be added...

Awesome! My 2nd Mtn Bike was a GT Tequesta, summer of 1988. Man, I wish I had that now. Love GTs. (not mine below, but same model) If I had it now, I'd do the same you're doing, I dont like standing on my head anymore when riding.
