I still have to make the side license plate mount and the brake light, but its about how I want it! I have been riding on her for about two months with a rigid frame... not to bad at all... until you hit 65mph!!!

There will be more pics to come when I have her done!

Well the frame is a Paughco frame ment for a Sportster Moter... a little cutting and welding and wallah! Let me see if I can resize those pics!

That is an ammo box and the the rear wheel... I am not sure... something I just pickedup... I know its american standard and not metric... I need to do something about my handlebars now and maybe add a little suicide shifter on her and she is perfect.... oh... license plate mount and tail light are done now will post some more pics soon!

White Trash............... I like it..

What rear master cylinder setup is that ? When I get started on my Trike I will only use a rear brake, it will be hydraulic but I want a cable lever up on the bars..... that setup you have would work....

Title: Re: My Rat Savage!
Post by Chopped on 10/20/08 at 21:18:44

The rear brake cylinder is actually from the front brakes off my Savage.... I riged up a pulled type system to run the brakes.... they look like nuts but work better than I ever could have imagined! Relatively simple to design and build.

As you don't have an airbox, is the weight of the carb and filter a concern? any sagging or stress on the front mount, etc.? Thinking of pulling my airbox and throwing a cone on there but was wondering if a support is needed, though yours looks like its holding up fine.

Title: Re: My Rat Savage!
Post by Chopped on 10/22/08 at 08:34:13

The weight doesn't matter... its holding up fine even with all the vibrations from the bike!

nice; thanks!

Just remember to tighten everything down holding the carb on!
