today i clocked 600kms on my cruiser/rat and wanted to share some pics with you.
the ride today was awsome from the hills to the beach and back, no problems , front wheel raises over long bumps and lots of head turns some good and some bad (bird lovers and loud bike = no good)

Very cool wind today and i think the engine actually ran at its best when it was hotter toward the end? interesting.

i am thinking of pulling down this bike and going for more rattness any advice or preferences?

Hi there Bren that's what I mean by more ratt I like the upside down handlebars Hows the ride is it comfortable? I also looking at lay back seat pole and Matt black finish?springer front end would be awsome but got to save up for those they're pricey.

Cheers bud , Yep I know the wiffee said the same thing but the fact is I would love to build another bike but can't afford it so I am gonna make some enhancements but I don't want to be uncomfortable just for a look. How's the ride on the laybacks and reversed handlebars. From what I've seen the stance is more of a racing stance?
 
Yeah Ratrod,
Its heaps more fun with the hangers down,peddling is another thing but.
I want to make a more laid back seat pole where its nearly touching the rear guard. but when i was testing it i sat on the seat and put a ding in the guard.

Do you know anywhere in Aus where you can get springers from? Cheaper the best.

Cheers LS,
A couple more mods and then i will be happy to put it away for that sunny day ride, mechanicly its all good a little top end vibration but thats just me reving the nuts out of it, smaller sprocket will fix that but that aint gonna happen until i get disc brakes.

Ratrod, maybe I'm wrong, but you probably have a lot more sunny days in Australia than we do here in CT :) Happy riding
