"RATS-ALT"

Re: "RATS-ALT" (REAR rack, chainguard?)

Thanks again guys.

I´m the DUMB one, dunno if it´s tank, rack or chainguard, heII, it looks like a steampunk mini vacuum cleaner from this side of the world! :lol: :lol:
What ever it is, throw it in, looks cool :wink:

I used the word DUMB, probably subconsciously, because "I" think it's dumb! They were just lying there and for a split second I thought it could make a cool exhaust .. Steampunk mini vacuum cleaner! :lol: :lol:

Hi, I'm new to the forum, and you've already become an inspiration for me! Keep it up, the bike looks killer so far! I'm entering the build off, but I plan on voting for yours! :mrgreen: Also, I'm heading to the hardware store tomorrow to pick up a conduit bender! I can't wait to break something!

I'm honored that my "simple" builds inspire people...Thanks!

how many of those racks do you own kota? well other than two less? still love this bike

You're right, TWO less now! But on the positive side. I can now make a "Steampunk mini vacuum cleaner" DUAL exhaust.:lol: ...I think I bought THREE for $10 at a swap meet a few years ago. I always liked the way they looked, especially raked forward....Just time for a different look.

Closer pics.
Is it RAINING out: YES
Do I CARE: NO! Bike can't get any rustier then it is.

Have to look at these for a while. Don't know if I like them...They'll be black.

Will also get painted.

Bars ARE spaced evenly. Hard to get the right camera angle to see.

Bro, that is one BAD "BEEP" bike with attitude. Tank is perfect & chainguard kicks "BEEP". Looks wicked! Looks like it's moving when it's standing still. Keg idea is really cool! 8) :mrgreen:

KEG idea was NLCTVWguy, Rob. He got them at Ocean State Job Lot. I PM'd him and he said that's why he mentioned the store, so US guys can get them. I paid $4 for it and it came with some real COOL (ugly) shorts....So far that's the ONLY money I spent, and I'm not counting it as cost for the build...Cause I'm WEARING the shorts right NOW!
