Sorry for the crappy pics but my garage ain't a studio :)
 
Re: A Bomber/Boardtracker/Don't know yet

looks like a good start to me. But IMHO it sits to high. With one pedal all the way down you need about two inches of clearance to ride comfotable and don't forget the front tire adding some more inches. I'd suggest shortening the fork a few inches.
 
Re: A Bomber/Boardtracker/Don't know yet

Hmmm..maybe you're right. The thing is a can't just cut a piece off cause of the custom lettering on the side..
I admit a blurry pic..
Maybe if a move the bracket up but keep the lenght of the tube?.. What's your idea?
 
Re: A Bomber/Boardtracker/Don't know yet

didnt recognize the lettering - my fault - NICE touch! But that adds even more difficulties to it. :-/

Moving the braket should give you about half an inch - that won't make sense. :roll: ... well - I'm thinking ...... hold on. :wink:

At least my dog seems to like ikt :D
Well Crank! the clearance is 8 inches so you were right. It is too high.. I'll probably move the crank housing(?) 6 inches lower
don't know how.. yet..
