I would like to put a springner on it but I can't find one with a long steertube that will fit that frame...i will start with a regular chopper fork and maybe modify it later to make a sprigner...maybe a hooch/rosemry style one...
Follow up on my project, I'm trying to have a working first prototype by tommorow for the night ride...
I did not received my disc brake bracket yet so I have to figure out a way to stop that beast.
I like the look so far!

Nice! I like the black with red tires combo - it's a cool variation on the traditional black with red rims combo.
As for stopping, just don't ride without shoes and you're all set (flintstone brakes :mrgreen: )

Looks great...
Ya she's lookin fine!
How do you like the ride and lay out of the 'Fink frame? Even with the Ape hangers I find mine really comfortable.
I wanted a chopper that I could put some miles on (cough* exersize!) and the Ratfink beat them all for comfort and ridability.

Re: Looks great...
layout is perfect, I needed a few minutes to get used to the riding position but after that it was great! I love how you can pull on the handlbars to transfer power to your legs and go uphill! great bike!RatFink said:

no sorry, no pics, i was too excited when i found the heater plate that i started to work on it right away!...
I mounted the rear part to the original mounting point throught the middle of the star at the back, it's also holding the pulley wheel. i will need to redo all the corners to make them cleaner looking.
in the front it's holding by a collar added to the seat tube. i want to switch that spacer for a smaller one to fix the bent on top...that spacer was all I had when i built it.
this is whats left of the grill...It took a lot of dremel work, it took me 4h from cuting to paint to install.
