Re: Flex{\\\}Liner 7 TwinFlex Spaceliner 6/17 Nexus 7 Wheel

That Perry looks like it has the perfect shape for it.... But I might try and keep it old American for your build.

Hmmmm, you got me thinking again Green.
I picked up this heavy guage aluminum a couple of weeks ago. Maybe I'll cut one out that looks like a coaster brake arm, but see if I can etch it with something custom.
Something more to think about.

I have the same Perry one on my Grady Rocket build. It's super cool. I love coaster brake arms.

Char, if you know of any other cool ones you think might work, let me know.
That Perry looked sweet on Grady Rocket.

They would be candidates for rockers too! Thanks for getting the 'wheels' spinning!

The Flexliner looks great! I'm jealous of that Nexus 7, YOURS is actually laced, unlike mine... :roll:

Keep trying crazy things, it's what sets your bikes apart.

Cheers,

KF this thing has really come to life! Looks great with matched set wheels too.

That brake arm idea is pretty nifty. I didn't realize there were cool brake arms like that. Now that is something else I have to keep an eye out for.

Thanks peat, I am kinda leaning to making my own custom one as a stickshift.

It's always cool to see the level of design that went into old stuff.

It's funny how ideas snowball around here. Green posted a pic of a ND arm and all of a sudden I saw it was the right shape that I needed, so I posted some ideas here as a shifter which has sparked you to think of them as rockers,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Thanks tank. Don't feel bad Tank, the LBS thought they had the right size spokes in stock and laced it up only to find they were 3mm too long (sound familiar?). So they had to unlace it and order spokes.

Keep trying crazy things, it's what sets your bikes apart.

That's a cool compliment. But I have surely seen plenty of other crazy things on other builds past and present here.

Hmmmmmmmm, I will definitely have to noodle on that one Dragon! Nice out of the box thinking.
Thanks man. The lines you drew for the truss wings are pretty close to the masking tape mockup I did. I will revisit that whole section later on.
I really appreciate the insight and suggestions. Things that make you wanna go Hmmmmmmm!!!

Re: FlexLiner 7 MO FATTA TwinFlex Spaceliner 5/25 Hub Choices

hey kingfish any idea what these bars are off of i picked up a set this weekend but mine had a little control on one side the starts at 0 1 2 i think its off of a mini bike or moped but no markings at all.. theres a k&n bar end on one side....Im diggin where this build is going though... the rear suspention is sick nice job i love the light!!!

 

[kingfish254]

Re: Flex{\\\}Liner 7 TwinFlex 6/18 Coaster Brake Shifter?

Jay, I got mine at a yard sale for cheap. I think they are motorcycle bars. I believe the style is called clubman.

Thanks for the compliments. Can't wait to get the rear arms welded up so this can become a rider. I love the light and have much more in store for it. I think it is a 40s-50s police search light.

Nothing makes me more giddy than going on a trip and coming back with a cheap/free bike or parts. When we go to PA in July I'm pulling my trailer... uh oh!
