heartlandcruisers · Jul 20, 2012

hello and good day
i have a question with a problem im having with my build
i put a long front end on it to create high rise effect which it did
now the problem is the weight distribution is off and it keeps throwing me off it backwards
i was thinking of either re-positioning the seat or maybe adding weight to the front
anyone got any ideas
thanks let me know

I would take about 6 inches off the front forks... and run a bigger set of apes...

Rake the frame or shorten the fork tubes.

Some thoughts:
-Rake the head tube
-Make a pair of drop out extensions for the rear wheel
-Larger rear wheel used with said extensions
-Raise the back of the seat
-Tilt your handle bars as forward as possible
-Make the fork into a springer which would move the front wheel farther from the back

Nice idea with the bandana's.

actually i resolved the problem i managed to reposition the seat and now it rides great
i am gonna look for bigger apes for it eventually
anyone have any for sale let me know price and send a pic it has a double stem on it

thanks on the bandannas spincycles i was trying to mimmick the old western outlaw days when they wore bandannas over their faces
hence how i came up with the name outlaw
im gonna be fashioning a Gasser oil can for the front im gonna make out of an old coffee can eventually and im working on a wheelie bar from 2 razor scooters their perfect for the wheelie bar.
im also gonna be converting it to 5 speed eventually and gonna run a krate stick shiftier when money allows me to do so.

i might also run a 22 inch back wheel if i can even find one of those anymore lol.
thanks for looking and responding
