Foot Pegs
I made these foot pegs out of some huge ATV pegs. They came off a ATV that caught fire after some late night, drunked up hijinks. I cut them shorter to scale them back and cut them lengthwise to make them fit a 5/8 round bar.
I was going to make them pivot on the bar, but I ended up welding them solid to act as a crash bar. Probably come in handy if past is prolog.

Seat Mount
We were trying to use a sprung beach cruiser bike seat. I cut out a seat post that was in my Diamondback mountain bike I don't ride anymore. I wanted the seat adjustable. The post tube is installed upside down. The bike also had this nice tool pouch I'm going to use. After tacking the mount in place I got on the seat and it moves around on the seat springs quite a bit...I think the springs are overloaded...It doesn't feel firm enough..so now I don't know if it going to work.

Another Seat Mount
My brother came by this morning and sat on the seat.....he didn't like it either. It feels like your sitting on one of those spinning dinner plates on a stick. We tried this other way (photo) to mount the cruiser seat. This didn't work either. So all this stuff is worthless and my mountain bike is junk. Maybe I'll put my bike on craigslist for sale to somebody that doesn't have a ass and don't need a seat. :censure:

Motor Mount
This was a cluster foxtrot.
I don't know if all frame, motor plate, torque converter, rear sprocket combinations require what it seemed like I had to do to this thing. Basically, I had to move the motor plate over to right about 1.5 inches and had to be raised about the same amount. The driven pulley was all up in that frame.
So I made a lent back, parallelogram box.....if there was some other way to do it, I couldn't figure it out.

Thank you and my local Airgas store thanks ya. When I left out of there the other day, they told me my visit had been a financial pleasure.
I'm going to cut some of the extraneous stuff off this Chinese one lung'r tomorrow. No hurry, this global warming has made it to where I can't paint anything till June anyway.......and I'm in Tejas.
Time for beer.
