Re: SoCal Speedster Stick a fork in it 5/16/11

those mattress style seats are my favorite for rat bikes and very comfy. I've built a couple bikes with them. And ya, they are heavy.

THe white is beautiful!
You're right. I think it's nessecary to paint the hardware in one color on this build. It's all in the details! I think the tribute is going to be a faithful one.

That fork is the best custom part so par in this build off. Hopefully its a reflection of how awesome the bike will be! Also be careful when you crank down those top nuts. We don't want any scratches!!! :wink:

Would it be fighting words if I said I wanted to re-make this fork exactly like you did and put it on one of my bikes? :wink:

Congrats man! I wish you all the best with your boy. Don't worry about the build for awhile. Your boy is more important trust me. There's a lot of time before the deadline.

Don't listen to Slick. Your boy is gonna need something to learn to ride on. It might as well be a RRB build-off Socal Super-Cruiser!! :lol:
