Not what I would called slammed, but this is an old pic of my CB in the back of my buddy's C10 (terrible shot of the truck). Its pretty low, tucks a bit of tire in the back and more in the front. He has air on the back so you can sit it on the bump stops when needed, or raise it a bit if needed.

Dale, that is one expensive looking wheelset. Looks great though

I was thinking white wheels would look great. Definately go blue frame.

Yea, mine is kinda soft in the back end. I also don't plan on too many super long, multi-hour rides.

I'm only rockin 48:17 gearing, so you more of a man than I. Would like to build some 20 or 24 spoke wheels with novatec hubs and Velocity aerohead rims, might be a while before i get to that though. Did get so bullhorn on it though

I havent riden much latley, but I have an aluminum Giant Bowery fixed gear. Used to take it out for 20-25 mile every saturday, but not in a while.

I think the Blue would be sweet. What color are the wheels?

I used 1/2 foam, cut to fit, shaped, 3m spray adhesive. Mine works just fine. To each his own, i guess

Thanks, I didnt like the idea of wood at first, but it was an easy base to start with. I reall want to try carbon fiber at some point.

Just go for it. Worse case, you start over. Here is a pic of the one I did. It's XPS foam, shaped, coated with epoxy resin. It was my first attempt. Turned out good. I carved out the bottom and epoxied that as well. the bottom is a wood base.

Definately sand between layer/coats. you can also do a coat of just resin and no glass if you need to.

I am tossing around the idea of using this one as a mold and making a few out of Fiberglass or carbon fiber.

Made a cut about 2/3 of the way through (on the top side) where I wanted the bend. Clamped it so it was bent like I wanted, poured some 2 part bonding epoxy into the cut. It is very freaking strong.

Just resin. If i had it to do over again I would probably add a little milled glass additive to the resin. With the base being wood, I didnt see any need for glassing the whole thing. The epoxy resing is very strong by itself, and the first coat bonded /soaked in to the foam really well.

Here is the Tail section with seat I made. Let me know what you guys think. I made the frame loop and aluminum plate to mount the battery first, then move to the seat/ tail. I used some 3/4 wood as a base. Got a sheet of XPS foam, stacked, glued together and shaped. Made a space on the...

you can get a 4'x8' sheet of xps foam at home depot for around $15.

I was going to go the airtech route, but i'm really cheap. Tried to find neoprene sheets, but it's hard to find. Ended up getting a closed cell foam pad made for flooring in a gym or kids play area. ended up being under $5 for a 2'x2' piece. its about 1/2" thick. used 3m spray adhesive to attach...

Me and a friend made some clip-ons for mine using an old top triple tree and some old bars. That being said, mine were going to hit the tank very badly. I drilled and tapped the stock steering stops. Got some small bolts, threaded them in till the bars stoped before hitting the tank and used...

Oh, got it. I have a 550 and have never heard about it. Good to know though. I was thinking of possibly building a 750 down the road.
