Help Support Rat Rod Bikes Bicycle Forum:
Still waiting on the hub motor. Just about done with the handlebar wiring. Waiting on a headlight switch. The Rad bikes headlight fits well. I like it. Not very bright but got it to be seen more then for night riding. Finished the tail light also. Happy with it.
Reworking springers. Have a friend who is a machinist that was able to custom cut some aluminum spacers and we reworked the spacers. I think it looks much better and closer to a “factory custom” type look. Going to powder the raw aluminum to match the rest of the bike. Was thinking of going black but I think matching the frame and fork color will be a nice clean look. Here’s the raw reworked springer before powder. Travel is smoother also
Killing time while I wait for my rear hub motor to arrive.
Finished up the front end and my suspension revision. Travel is nice and smooth now. Looks cleaner and more ”factory“ like to me
Motor should be here soon and can finish up. Have everything ready and waiting so should go quick once the Gmac hub arrives…
