saw this in the last copy of Caferacer magazine. Which buy the way has some good pictures but is a pretty crappy magazine. It is written like many post on this forum. Where in our haste we mis a key stroke and dont type the whole word or hit the wrong one. Understandable, i dont use spell check on my post but if i was selling it to you for $6 a rag then i might hit the spell check or even have somebody proof read my work. There are errors on almost every page. Not to mention the first ad is a full page of OLD BIKE BARN, who we know is a rip off, and they talk him up in the magazine too. They dont tell you how crappy his service is though. Anyway like i said, they do have some cool bikes.

i really like it. thanks for the heads up about the mag. isn't it put out by carpy?

like that yellow honda and the stretch wheelbase thing too. and that is a surprise to me.

All that work and he fits a crappy Made in China 'Cat's Eye' tail-light! Very nice apart from that - more please!

To me that R5 is a horrid , little toad of a bike...

I like them taillights.. Why do you think it is Chinese.. They have had American made ones for sale at NAPA stores for about40 years..

I think it more a case of the rest of the bike , making the taillight look bad...

.. bet ya cant tell I am not fonda 2strokes.. huh?

Coolest bike I have every seen. This gives me great inspiration for the boardtracker cl350 project I have recently named "Hondian". Honda+Indian. I hope mine turns out at least half that cool.

That thing blew my mind for at least an hour. I have now been concerned with how I can remake it with a Honda motor

Here's my thread for my cl350 build.

I'm really just scratching the surface right now but that bike gives me a good push forward.

No front brake! It was meant to go slow?

It seems to be a spin on the classic Boardtrackers of the early 1900's which had no front brakes so I would venture to guess they were going for the look from which it was inspired. Oh, and Boardtrackers were known to reach speeds around 100mph.

Can someone sort out those rearsets for me? On the chrome Suzuki bike above. I see a gear lever and heel lever for the brake on both sides...

tinyrobot · « **Reply #3195 on:** October 15, 2009, 02:18:02 PM »

Looks to me to just be a heel rest. I don't know if they pivot with the foot levers.

Ya youre probably right

That last one reminded me of the 'Hulster' by Stellen Egeland

Damn, and he rides it in the dirt? Anybody want to pay my bills so I can spend the next few months building my Boardtracker? Stupid not enough hours in the day and stuff. $:-\$

Who needs brakes or ground clearance anyway?
