MBBO Class 2 - ALiEN FiRE - DONE!

[Jamie825]

I reckon they have the tires right now at Jerald's you might want to call them and make sure I believe their number is in my thread somewhere. Ichoptop knows the number too

 

[Jamie825]

The number was in Ichoptop's thread it is (319)-234-6195 I hope they can help you I still may order one before this build is over if I can come up with the funds there is a few other things I need more now.

I hear ya. All 3 of my kids birthdays are close... 2 down 1 to go. My Mom in 4 days too... so bike bucks are thin.

[JWHARTON]

Awesome Ideas..enjoying watching this build!!

 

[GuitarlCarl]

Oh! Look what showed up on my doorstep today....


Carl.

 

[Jamie825]

That's what I'd call a door prize!

 

[GuitarlCarl]

Quick mockup, got my sissy today... I mean my "airfoil support strut".

Carl.

Eeeewww....kyoooollll!!

Love the lean on that thing! It virtually matches the seat post angle. Nice.

Thnx. I haven't secured the seat post yet so I have some trombone style action before I bolt it solid. The plan was to match up the angles... It looked so good to me on the initial fitting that I just took a quick pic to share.

I love that application of a chadpost!

 

[Jamie825]

WoW! Looks like you live really close to a main road!
WoW! The seat and sissy looks really great too! Can't wait to see air foil design I don't really understand is it kinda like a rear spoiler or is it something else?

Yep! On the border, it's a different city across the street, and one of the main thoroughfares. Airfoil is just a different name for wing. So a wing on my sissy bar is an airfoil on a support. Just ALiEN tech...

Carl.

 

[kingfish254]

Gotta have an airfoil to help the back tire get traction!

 

[GuitarlCarl]

No more trombone action for the ChadPost ...

I hate these brakes BUT I have no disc brake rim so...

Major minor mod,
had to bend the ends of the brake arms back to clear the crank arms...
got a strong inch of clearance now...

and it stops. Till something better comes along this is it.

Carl.

 

[GuitarlCarl]

Allright this bike is a roller. I'm still sourcing parts for the lighting effects, and materials for the spoiler. I'd also love to find an affordable disc brake rim... but it's time to get some paint on this thang! Something purple but what? I'd love to shoot tinted primer, or thick metalflake, but I'm not set up for that, all though Fruit Krate should be sprayed too. We might send that one out. So I'm leaning towards rattle canning the ALiEN FiRE. So now I'm looking for paint. Where are those Aliens when you need them???

[Chad T]

Awesome! Looks like it fits the big guy pretty good.

 

[Endlesschain]

Thank you! I've not seen them before. But those TALL apes seem to be made for it...
