Ha!!!
Bike looks great!!
and i thought my fork had some rake!!! nice!!
I guess for the newer members I should show where the forks came from..Here's start to finish.
They were made for another bike, decided to use them on this.
Supports from a spaceliner rear rack.

Insane bike my friend! lovin´tha forks :wink:
Thanks for the kind words....My bikes SLAMMED, no, everybody else's bikes are to high! Mine are normal. :roll:
Well so far, so typical. I'm using the seat from the build off two years ago. Things are just sitting in place, but that's where they'll go. Banana seat will sit about a half inch above rear tire, still have to cut old mounting tabs off. Have to make a wedge seat post. Will bolt right through the front of the seat. I want the seat as low as possible. Had a Stingray chainguard hanging around. Got it all RED hot with a torch, can't tell by the pics, but it blued nicely....Oh yeah! That's NOT a sissy bar, that's a ROLL bar. :roll: One last thing..My bikes always have apes, preferably with a banana seat. Well we gots the seat, but.....

I wasn't gonna post this pic today. But I might as well get it over with....I'm tellin ya if you KEEP looking at it....It'll GROW on you......I said WILD, I said DANGEROUS. I meant it. It's not a cruiser. Not a bar hopper. It's a salt flats suicide machine....There will be riding pics, SOMEONE'S gonna ride this. It may be at gun point, but someones gonna ride it! :lol:

Just when I thought I was beginning to like apehangers....
I think you'll need a rollbar on the front as well...
:mrgreen:
Looking good Kota. I wonder what you'll be doing to those bars though... But I like your thinking. 8)

Bending backwards the banana bars would make the bike look even longer, and lower... 8)

Re: "RATS-ALT" (update numero deuce)
I'm not "feeling" the banana seat and low bars. SCHINNRAY69 PM'd me about apes. So here's a shot with 16inch apes........I really, really like it. But it looks like a very typical build of mine. Trying to do something different, there's the second and third pics...............I would appreciate opinions of which direction to go (not that I'll listen :lol: )
Started to mock a seat post. I think the seat should be "tipped forward a little more.
