Looks good so far.

The only improvements I could think of doing would be a seat with springs (for comfort, of course) and maybe making the rear basket into an enclosed carrier, but that would be my taste in customizing it.

BTW, what is the 'fuel mileage' on this new cruiser?

 

Dump the Knobby's and get 3 of these...
(it's what I have on my Cruiser)

 

Nice whip Sally.......j/k nice makeover... you need a bell though!

 

I'm down with the spring seat. I'm not exactly sure how to make that happen, though. The seat actually has 3 posts instead of 1 like a "normal" bike. Any ideas?

I dig those tires! My gal's Rat Rod has a "Hotster" on the front and a "Fatty-O" on the back. When it's in the budget, it'll be in the cards.

On a side note, I gotta admit, I'm a little bummed about all the flack. I'm on this site everyday...and not a day has gone by where I don't read some combination of the following: racism, woman-hatin', and flatout ignorance. Other than the occassional razzing for a spelling error, I have yet to see any flack for that. Yep, when I cruise around town with my woman, I ride a three-wheeler with a license plate that says "KIL4S8N". I wouldn't say a word if a word was ever said about the "towel heads" or the "don't let your woman drive your truck" or mispelling every other word. If my "man card" is revoked for having a hellacious cruiser, then I don't want a man card.

 

Do you really need the 2 posts on the back of the seat?



Don't let the "Haters" get to ya...
The ones that don't "get it" about the trike may one day end up in a Scooter Chair and then start a thread about how they've "Customized" it to impress the Old Ladies at the Retirement Home

Here's what the rest of my Cruiser looks like

 

Jonny- Don't take life so seriously. I think most of it is just "guy stuff", poking fun is a way of socializing because guys don't get warm and touchy like women do. There was a time in life that I took things like that a little more seriously than I do now. If I don't like someone's opinion, it's easy to ignore it. I have often said, "learn to laugh at yourself, if you don't, someone will do it for you". Trust me I learned to laugh at myself, beats somebody doing it for me!

 

What the hell is a man-card anyway?

Seriously, I have a bell on my bike. It's a necessity as the paths I ride have slower bikes and walkers. It would be a nightmare without it.

Your trike is wider and there's nothing you can do about that.
You wouldn't be passin' other wheelers with that crank but, a walker you approach from behind would assume a normal bike could get by and wouldn't be expecting your wide load.

When I didn't have a bell, I'd sometimes have to 'bail'.
You couldn't dump that, if you had to.

 

If I lived in town I would rock the **** out of that thing. I have been enjoying my mountain bike since the weather has changed and am loving every minute of it. I had a little crash this winter on some ice that put the bike in the basement till weather changed.

 

damn id get a cooler just big enough to fit in that basket!!

get some "mud grips" on the back 2 and a "street" tire on the front and ride the hell out of that!!! can you ride a wheelie on that! id surely try it

 

i dont see why everyone is hating on it. i think it looks real good!

nice transformation!

how far do you ride to work?

 

Unfortunately, no. I tried and the gearing is WAY too high. Great minds think alike!

Nope...I checked out some at a local cruiser shop and I'll be changing the post/seat soon!

The ride itself is not too long...maybe 10-15 miles. But being so close to the front range, I always took "the long way" home...tacking on another 60-80 miles. Hence, the monkey butt.

I hope you get back on that "horse"! When I was still new to the Boulder area, I had a pretty bad wreck on my mtn bike...broken rib, concussion, and a LOT of road rash. It took a few months, but I had a new respect for the trail when I got back to it.
