U.K ratter. PUCH HEAD HELP??

First post but ello from wales.U.K.
Here's where im at right now with my ratter. Any other members over here? my first motorised build but not new to the custom bike world
Driven sprocket upgrade and a new air filter in the next couple of days. What does everyone think? Clocking high 30s mph on the flat running a 46t. 32t on the way.
Cheers. Jake

That is a lot of rake on the front fork. How does that affect the handling? TIA

 

[oleskool]

Handles well, im used to riding raked out lowriders and such so is pretty smooth for me

likes like the forks from a 27" racer rather than the stock ones.


may look raked, but follow the pivot line and trail looks just about normal...probably is normal.

we tend to run much more vertical steering tubes these days compared to the old girls...and it is british, after all....

They started off as bent raleigh chopper ones. Cut the ends off and raked them to almost 32"

32t installed today and new filter. Great stuff but only tried out this evening. Takes an age to build up speed but very impressed with speed result

You're running in the high 30's,what kinda brakes you have?

 

[oleskool]

Brakes?? haha. I shall be welding some lugs on at some point. For now I'm just opening it up along a long flat

 

[oleskool]

All there minus chain and brakes rides well once you build up speed she flies very pleased
