Lowrider build

Assamblee..

Still trying to do that front shock system. I went to welding school and I'm using new skills and opportunities there.

Lovely bike with a plain-jane kickstand.

But I really wanna see you decorate that spring housing.

that thing in front is not a front shock cover but a hydraulic cylinder. but at the moment he remains chrome.

Is that a hydraulic cylinder from an office chair ? Novel idea ! Now you just need to add headlights to the cylinder!

I have video how this works

 

[Oldbiscuit]

I watched your video, very clever ! But I still want to know what the hydraulic cylinder is from, office chair ?

Yes from regular office chair.

If it makes the bike go up by itself it either has a steel spring or a compressed air “spring” in the housing.

In any event it’s an ingenious idea.

I think it looks like this inside

Today I made a matching chain lock case out of leather... so the paint won't scratch off.

Then technically it’s probably not hydraulic. There’s no oil or water. It just works off air so is considered a gas piston. This is very similar to the construction of any modern gas shock absorber except that there’s no oil to control the motion, as you don’t have to worry about the office chair being bouncy

I had a car with gas pistons to help you open the trunk because it was so heavy and they can be purchased in all kinds of configuration nowdays; so I have long considered them for building a custom front suspension in the teledraulic or telelever style.
