5 day vacation weekend is coming to a close. Time to pick up tools and go for a ride.
 
Re: 360 beer rack for the War Pig

thanks bro, I think it fits pretty well. its 1 1/2 x 8, just guessing if I do put numbers/letters on it they will be 1" high. 1/4 inch border top and bottom.
 
Re: 360 beer rack for the War Pig

I like it..................feels like I'm in England again............................or at least over seas again.
 
Re: 360 beer rack for the War Pig

i love it :p i mean it ;) bitchen size,shape and the way you fit shit together is always vishaully appealing and well balanced but .... wait for it
for reference is the laws of physics and the vision i possess to see where they are enforced strictly, by the book.the enforcers is still open for derp-bate , it can be an invisible crater in the sky ,a dog with a cats head that has a fetish building huge shit out of hard sand by slaives,ALIENS,or even nothing at all,....this is this....
as an integrated structure then the only way it will work unless, you never use it,the rack( i like nice racks :p ) is if the whole integrated assembly is lashed to the main frame as sprung weight.there is just too many negatives . shit will be hard to keep lashed on, yer milk will turn to butter and the 12 pack of mountain dew will 'splode..ruining the ding dongs and hoe ho's. :'(..... anmything on the rack will get hammered to fuck on any kind of spike loads(pavement seems pot hole driveway to curb steps etc.because it always moves and the same laws of inertial ballistrics applie..throw in a typical rural county road ........
.exampole, any wheeled,suspended,vehicle.. racing a timed lap say a lap at the iom, TT..then put on extra unsprung weight and do another lap...you get one guess,as to which one the aliens diktate wins every time, .... winner is better handling ...quicker on accel and decel and changing direction(MOSTLY THIS PERTAINS TO A WHEELS WEIGHT)...easier to set up suspension for,can use a spring and damping rate which is more comfortable and helps the tars grip and it also gives less shock heat to the aliens a small trade-off for them
and they will last longer
put a tennis ball in your hand.like you were getting ready to surve you fly the ball up and down with slight arm motion and an open palm.very easy to do... makes your oponent sweat, just a trickle down her back dimples and maybe twixt her rack...now fill the tennis ball with water make it heavier,move it at the same vertical acceleration and distance or as close as you can.
the unbreakable law, set by aliens i figger>diktates the heavier object will take more effort to accelerate and will continue to fly higher under its STORED energy,its inertial energy, when you drop your hand
hence the springs are having to absorb this energy and store it until it is overcome by the spring rate and some of energy is absorbed DISSIAPETED into the compression damping rate of the shock.it is bled off to da aliens as heat, go figger that one out....do they want it or not ?
once the springs get back to expending their stored energy in order to return to ride height, the rebound dam-pings job is to regulate the speed of this but ideely this work is going for a road holding ride ..extra unsprung weight diktates a higher rebound rate resistance for when the shock is extending because it takes more heat, bled off to da aliens,to absorb the extra bullshit inertial energy imparted by the heavy as fuck unsprungertated shit
besides it will look pretty much the same if it is mounted correctly to the frame.designed smartley, it could even be quick detach 3 or 4 point mount hand as fuck for cleaning and service and applying some tar black. to keep thast new tar look
yeah it will be up higher in realtion to the seat because you will have the tire to fender extra clearance.it will only look different than what it was.but only if you saw it what it was.that was that

Thanks bro.

I thought about all that. Really not intending on actually using this rack...LOL.

But maybe...just maybe. Ill do something like that. Its kinda just a prototype. If I really like it. I will make another "functional" from solid 1/4" rod. that comes up closer behind the seat. and mount light under it.

I really cant carry anything substantial on it. Since its bolted to the fender. Without, beefing it up also. And with the fender on the swing...what ever goes on the rack is gonna take a beating.

Thankyou sir! Here is what I posted yesterday about all that. Really, I just plain got way too much shit in the way to "frame mount" the thing like the functional old school racks were mounted.
Besides my bike having a suspension. To deal with. Most of the bikes on the Tobacco cards (inspiration) were hardtails. Making them much easier to frame mount. So, guessing their milk got churned to butter also. ;)

Just overall, the full sized fenders seemed so naked and empty sticking out there. I couldnt help but feeling I needed to do something. To fill the space.

And please, quit writing your shit like you do. So many posts you make, I see in there you offer useful, usable info. Its just so hard to read I end up just skimming and then just give up on what you have to say. Rather than spending my time trying to decipher through all the BS misspellings. I dont get it.

It's phonetic with a little sarcasm. I understand.

Re: 360 beer rack for the War Pig

So when you go get Budweiser just whip out your pair of cutlass swards with hols drilled precisely at the right position to add to the shock mounts to create a momentary hardtail and then get your ass back to the campfire :eek:
 
Re: 360 the Pig

And besides, if I do need to fetch a little something...theres always this option.

Re: 360 the Pig

You could use the year and CL360 on front plate, tell everyone what it is and they still think it's vintage military ;D
 
Re: 360 the Pig

Plastic arrived from iatethepeach, (thanks agian) Its perfect.

I shaped this one a bit differently...Its still growing on me. I may have to do a little more shaping work to it.

Ill try to get some better pics after bit. My neighbor down the street has a couple older gas pumps in front of his garage. Last night I noticed he got them wired up, so now the globes on top light...they are cool. I want to stop and introduce myself and see about getting a couple shots w them.

You did a nice job with the material. It looks like metal in the photo.

Also, thats the side that had the texture. I think.

I see a lot of influence from this site on your build..... ;D .....kudos!

Oh absolutely. Im not afraid to admit. I made ALL the "beginners mistakes". From clubmans and chinese pods to crap shocks & tires. BEEN THERE, DONE THAT. LOL. However, after a bunch of reading, learning and education, gained solely from fellow DTTers. I was able to convert that knowledge into elbow grease, determined to "fix" the problem spots. Shes now both reliable and ridable. Completely capable of out performing my skill level as a rider. And still not your average "cookie cutter cafe" as far as her appearance goes. Although, (Im not sure thats a good thing as far as "pleasing the masses", is concerned but I really like her.) ;)

thanks dude.
 
Re: 360 the Pig

I just noticed, the tail light isn't visible when your 'rum running' ;)

Nor the turn signals if you're carrying a 30 pack, like I do occasionally.

Ugh! I know I know. The thing is just for fun. lol just for fun.

I will "FIX" all that this winter...I promise.
 
Re: 360 the Pig

Just buy bottles of whiskey. Won't get shaken up, lights will shine through it. Problem solved!

Looks good man.
