HoughMade Oddities

Well, at long last, I think I have all the parts mocked up- hopefully some things you may not have seen before are incuded. Here are pics of a few details- all designed to create the impression of a motorcycle from the teens.

First, the non-functional leaf springs, front and rear- non-functional as springs at least. They are my fenders and due to their construction, are not susceptible to breaking like standard fenders are. Also, I fabbed a bracket for the tail light:

I've said it before, but you are just full of good ideas. Most of which will get ripped off and used by members of this forum. Nice work, keep it up.

It's give and take- I didn't come up with everything I did on my own. I got many of my ideas right here.

I'll probably be one of the members stealing some of your ideas.
I'll take some pics of mine next week and post em up.

I love the rear seat on that bike! I wonder if I can rig something up like that....

I noticed that too- I know they used them back then, but that stikes me as a bad idea these days- great for looks, though.

another person on the rear of that bike would made some crazy wheelys over the bumps.

I have a spirit of adventure, but I would prefer not having to include extra underwear in my tool roll.

Ha Ha. Yeah really, these things are already fun enough.

Here is the pull start. It's hard to see in these pictures, but the starter has been painted with a charcoal gray "hammered" finish that looks pretty good- and very much like metal.
