Re: the BLUE MEANIE /got some parts! 10/19------

now, you might have noticed, i put the forks in a vice and gave them a light bend........
well, that's just not gonna Kut the mustard!
so the front of the bike was raked about 3/4 inch....... 8)

the rake went well, and we were bouncing ideas around for an all metal seat.
i wanted it to be entirely metal, and i wanted to sit above the rear tire.
it was decided that if the bike had a nice rake in front, it was gonna need a nice shovel in the rear! :shock:

this build is a dedication to all the great friends i've met on this website, and to the website itself.
i was so inspired at the turkey day ride, and for Kuttnhack to open his shop for me, and the parts donated by Mike S. & James.
here is a mock up picture taken at the lab....... 8)
