It Works, Man!

For those of you (Kingfish254) who have waited for a followup on the saga of the crooked MX bars, I found a solution!

A grinder (with a shield in place) and a bench vice were also used in the operation.

@MattiThundrrr I looks like you can add one human win to the tally

Natural re-cycle for it. That was meant to be!

I'll confirm it, 4-2, but I've heard rumors from one of our other members...

It's not finished, but it's much closer. Here are some mockups. The final version will be very much like the bottoms pics.

Like the clean look, but keeping the theme means it needed rear suspension and a longer seat.

The laid-back post may have to wait for the next project or challenge.

Found a great deal on this old Troxel seat on Ebay

That's it so far...

That seat is an amazingly good choice for your bike!

View attachment 156609se super big honkin cruiser bars are kind of similar. I have them on one of my worksman. May work for you if you can't find any dirt bike bars.

Good to see a great looking Worksman cruiser. There are two Worksman bicycles in our family but none as nice to look at as yours.

Thanks - I am really happy with it!

Thank you! I've been having a lot of fun getting it together.

COOL RUNNINGS!!

That has really come a long way. When I was a kid, a couple of kids had the Yamaha moto bicycles and yours if looking the part. All it's missing is that little rack like area that extended behind the seatpost.
I love the use of the shock fork to get your rear springage!

Thanks, @kingfish254. Mounting that front 24" fork as suspension/sissy bar was easier than I'd thought it would be. It's been a very fun build. I wish we could all get together and ride our finished bikes!
