Re: The Billy Jack

I'm gonna cut out the lower stay and weld in a 'pitchfork' style rear end like in the pic. I'm not sure if I'm gonna go with round or square tube. Square will let me span further out closest to the hubs so it'll support the axles better than the round.

Gotta put my thinkin cap on and do some pondering.

Re: The Billy Jack

Seeing the two tails overlapped makes me think of the bluebird. Here's some more rat style inspiration.

Re: The Billy Jack

That Rat Trike is a coincindence. Seems it has the same wheels as what I'm getting.

Ameican Racing Torque Thrust Ds:

The Cragar Eliminators didn't come in 16"s so I'm going with the classic TT D's in 16X8. Tires will be Bridgestone 240/55/16 m/c tires.

I'm not gonna soring for any of this til my hub guy tells me they're all made and ready to ship.

Got the triple tree fork on. Forks are nice and fat.

Here's the Sturmey gear box and CLS shifter. I'll cut the top of the shifter off and fab up a nicer one like the B-2's.

Still waitin' on the hub builder to finish things up, then i'll cut the back end of the bike off and get the 1.5" squere steel assembly made up.
