Nice idea B! I got those figures. Thanks a bunch. Ya know i'm the king of exhaust pipes. :wink: so ya know I've got an exhaust idea! Peace

Thanks Jake. Look forward to seeing Chef on your Dodge bike. Can't wait to see you exhaust. I remember the monster one you built for Retrorato.

I think those would be pretty cool pipes on the chainguard ....
You've got good luck at Yard Sales lately, the Handlebars are great on that bike, and now the lights ... If you could set those lights up to shine through your pipes, kinda like HiaWhatThe 's build, I think that'd really make your chainguard rock...

Thanks who, if you look at my Fresh Finds thread you will see that I always do good at yard sales, but finding the lights was pretty darn cool. Yes, X has been my R&D for lighted exhaust pipes. He did a really cool job with his for sure!!!!

Xcruiser said:
Pipes are sweet man,definitely an idea i will steal on a later build! Id imagine either angle will work well.

Thanks X, I like to think of it as being R&D for other ratters. I have definitely gotten some ideas from your work.

The pipes look awesome dude. You should make a dry ice compartment and have smoke coming out of them.

Thanks 2112, dry ice smoke would be wicked.

When your kid is in the hospital, you get a four page credit, so yoothgeye is really only 2 pages in arrears. Of course, when one becomes a moderator, you should set a good example, so that's a 4 four page penalty. So, yep, it's 6 pages.*

Carry on...



*I would say more, but I haven't done nothing on my bike for days--and I used a bunny save besides.

I agree about the page credits (and about the page penalty :p ) . Justin and I are just bustin each others chops.
 
Re: FlexLiner 7 - TwinFlex Spaceliner 5/31 Guard Lites Lit

Popped on the saddle from my American Picker in Malaysia trip. It sure has a huge front spring.

These yard sale lights are exactly the same length as the chainguard louvers. I strapped them on and hooked up a 9V battery just to get a feel for the lighting. Pretty cool. It will be even better when I add some red film behind the louvers.

Don't know if I will add some more lights for the exhaust pipes or not. That might be overkill.

Looks like you just bought yourself a 2 page double negative usage penalty. Unless you were implying that you had done something...

The lights look great in that chainguard, treat them as accents and limit your lights unless you want an electric parade bike. :lol:

Thanks yooth. That's kinda what I am thinking, but then again BEER RUN did have a flashing COLD BEER sign, and beer bottle full of lights and beer can headlight and taillights. But this bike isn't going to be the circus bike that BEER RUN was.

If I want a parade bike, I can always put on a silly costume and add more temporary lights to it.

Re: FlexLiner 7 - TwinFlex Spaceliner 5/31 Guard Lites FLAME ON!

Here's my suggestion. Think about enclosing the back of the chainguard to limit the light output to business side of the guard... or enclose it and make the same grooves on the other side.

I was thinking about blocking the light from the chain side. It does light up the tire nicely, but I think it will look much cooler with just the louvers lit.

Of course if I really want some flames, I could always find a way to use this on the build.

Congrats!

I am honored to be the recipient of your Johnny Storm post.

You should have machine gun barrels with red LEDs that light up when your kids pull the trigger!!!!

Re: FlexLiner 7 - TwinFlex Spaceliner 5/31 Guard Lites FLAME ON!

Found this Advent Suspension stem today at a yard sale.
It looks cool and I would love to use it, but no way can I use my clubman bars with it.

Re: FlexLiner 7 - TwinFlex Spaceliner 6/1 Nexus 7 + Springer Hd

It was like Christmas today.
First bought the Dahon MU frame and other parts, then on the way home I bought a Park workstand for only $40, then when I got home my Nexus 7 hub and my springer head assembly were waiting for me!!!!

HO HO HO MERRY JUNEMAS !!!!!
 
Re: FlexLiner 7 - TwinFlex Spaceliner 5/31 Guard Lites FLAME ON!

But first I need to get Fugsley ready for a ride to Forsyth Park tonight.
The art college SCAD is having their "new alumni" free concert on the park tonight.
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals along with JJ Grey and Mofro.
Never heard of either band, but these concerts are usually pretty good.
Past artists have been
James Brown
George Clinton
Blues Traveler
Michael Franti
G. Love and Special Sauce
Neville Brothers with Ziggy Marley

My public has been missing Fugsley. I need to go give them their fix of funky monster bike fun.
