DRAG KING ___Raceliner Dragster___

O.K., so I went back to this picture and it looks like a tandem to me now.

I think I'll try it again tomorrow with the rear wheel where it's supposed to be. The flipped fork should be enough stretch to give it that aggressive look I'm after.

RM, do I know the small hiccups that occur when trying to find that desire stance. That front wheel is cool.

Getting there in the idea stages. Amazing how the frame takes on a completely different look with a stretched wheelbase, even though it's only a mock up. Front wheel looks great, reminds me of the front wheels on old slingshot dragsters or fuel altered racers.

That front wheel is awesome!

The front wheel is definitely staying.

Bigred, that's music to my ears! 'Slingshot dragsters and fuel altered racers' is just what I'm after!

Your right about completely different, here's the comparison...

Another bare bones mock-up, this time with the rear wheel in the stock position. I also stuck some bars on for a quick look.

I'm thinking it needs to be somewhere between the two mock-up pics.

I like where this is going...

Agreed, needs to be longer, but not quite tandem...

Luke.

I'm a fan of flightliners... Can't wait to see what you'll do with it

Once again, a busy day with very little bike time.

I made time for another quick mock up. This time I split the difference between stock and tandem. I used a different wheel so that I could see where the axle would end up and stuck some different bars on.

This is starting to feel more like where it needs to be.

I've got an idea for how to actually mount it that I'm working on.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

That looks good!

Luke.

I think you mean bad girl, It's not a boy...yet.



It's gonna need some traction bars for the drag strip.

That's awesome! I love it

Here's the idea for making some traction bars for the rear end. This is subject to change some, but it totally goes with the dragster theme and resolves the rear drop out placement.

Love it! Very cool!

Love the look...

 

[SCHWINNRAY69]

Awesome idea!

 

[The Renaissance Man]

Thanks guys.

I failed to mention that the rear facing drop outs are for quick change rear ends at the track. Speed is not limited to the track, races are also won in the pits!
