Re: >>>LACKLUSTER<<<

I mounted the taillight to get a feel for it before I paint it. I bought an LED headband light but its not going to work. So I'm still in search of the right LED light to hack up..

I think I like it.... Opinions?

if it means I get that "BIKE" reflector I LOVE IT !!! :wink: :lol:

I really liked the reflector on the bike but I would probably do the same, it is a pretty smooth light and goes well with the rest if the bike too !

If it's any help, I used a light like that on my Elgin. Mounted a mini push button switch thru the back hole and got this LED light from ACE H/W stripped it and wired in my switch basically mounted the light to the switch, tight fit. It had it's own little reflector so it worked nicely. Powered by one of those large button batteries.

Here's the light

There you go Tater... Right there is your BO-8 bike build name!

LOL. With Tater Tot as a BO name, I'd have to build a rat version of this:

 

[kingfish254]

Re: >>>LACKLUSTER<<< BO-8 score!

Building any version of that would be cool!!

Re: >>>LACKLUSTER<<<

Crit, that bike is gorgeous beyond words. You did a fantastic job! I'm inspired to try my hand next year. I already have two ideas in mind... now I just have to find time, money, bikes, and stuff. :lol:

I live down in Visalia, but was originally from Sac about 100 years ago. Maybe someday I'll be able to see Lackluster in the flesh.

Re: >>>LACKLUSTER<<<

I found this thread of LACKLUSTER's former form from when member "Ratina" last built it up for RRBBO #5.. Little did it know it would resurrect for BO-7!!

Check it out>> "The Newsboy Special"

Pretty cool... from Chicago..
