dual springer raty

[Locolowriders3066]

hey from OZ
just wanted to show off my new 20" raty
hand built in australia
I bought it for $500au which i think is around $320us ?!?

the crank is a bit low for riding at the mo, but after a bit o werk from me it shall be sweeeet!
shall be set so i can change from 'show' stance to 'ride' stance simply by changing the rear springer position to an inch forward of the current spot on the bottom swing arm
ooh ... and i alsoo added the saddle, i think it gives it a nice look ...
let know wot u think !

That's one of the best looking springer forks I've seen. I really like the back springs as well. Great bike.

 

[ohchusan]

very cool.
very different.
is that made out of two forks? how bout some closeups of that front springer?

 

[ifitsfreeitsforme]

wicked!

 

[tatrat]

Are those triumph springs on the rear?

 

[slacker]

I am usually not a fan of lowriders, but that is bad donkey. Can we see some more shots of the springer?

 

[rgallen]

That's a triple springer if you count the springs on the front, the springs on the rear, and the HUGE springs on that seat. I like it. It's a cool ride.

Locolowriders3066 is there a pivot at the BB for the rear, I hope? Tell us about the fork, homemade, designed by you? Like to see more closeup pics!

thanx for the questions guys ...
the front forks are made from 2x 16" dragster forks with the fork fitted as standard and the front set simply floating on the kicker and springs
these are also easily changed to 20 or 26" forks for more of a drag/raked look if needed !

indeed there is a hinge behind the crank for the rear end
and i gotta be honest , i dont know what springs where used for the rear ?!?

later all ...
try to get a fu more shots up for that front for u all

 

[Locolowriders3066]

got a fu more shots here ...
but i am not sure how much more they show

hope this helps

 

[Fireproof]

WOW! 8) Cool! I can't decide which end is more interesting. Does it feel like you're riding in your La-z-boy?
