Hotrod/Ratrod Bicycles

Hillbillysurf and I have been working on some bikes we take to car shows to run around on. Here's mine, anybody else have any?

I like it... i have been thinking about making one.. but then i figure i should finish my truck first..

i've got one i've been working on off and on, i think i've got to wait till i get home to get the most recent picture of it up here though. planning on slipping a motor in to it. it's surprisingly comfortable with the dual shock setup. i have since these pictures were taken built a springer front end for it since what was on there was warped beyond repair, put the banana seat back on to it, put a 26" wheel in the back so i can have a few more gears and to ease the mount of the chain for the motor. but these are the only pics i've got right now.

Just found this recently in the backyard at an estate sale,...
Huffy " Rail " muscle bike! 3-speed with a "Control Console" that reads:
Low
Drive
Cruise
...Red-Band, dual red-wall Cheater Slick with matching Red-Band Supreme front tire, Persons Solo-Polo white w/ silver flake seat...
I have quite a few Sting Ray's / Crate bikes, but this is my first Huffy..
...dig the chain guard with the front engine dragster graphics!

That's about a $1,200 bike [dr

This is my So-Cal Speed Shop Edition Dyno Roadster that I swapped out the beach bars for some 13" ape hangers...

This started out as a bicycle...does that count? Stretched & lowered a regular beach cruiser, built the springer forks and of course added the go kart motor.

Here's my before and after two day build before heading to the Rumble. Converted BMX bike with a little Hillbilly style ! Set of natural side wall tires,, hula girl up front, rust color frame, Chevy orange wheels, old rear fender, and handle bars with real bamboo grips. Had to tear down the rear wheel Sat. morning at the show and broke the chain about mid-day on Sat. Too much power ?? Here's a cool site to check out or just to get some ideas for your own Rat Bike. http://www.ratrodbikes.com/

With gas prices the way they are we might all be riding rat bikes soon

While not a rat bike it does have a few small mechanical touches that help me out when I stray off the beaten path. The picture was taken in Arizona.

cool thread !

 

[liljgoneman]

does this count?... its all of 3 raging, bloodspitting, tire shredding horsepower.. 1 for the traditionalists and 1 for the stripped down racer crowd..
