Just pulled the trigger on Skyhawk in-tank frame.


Going for a vintage muscle bike look. Something simular to these.

Found a cool vintage seat. Maybe?

That Banana seat would be great for a vintage Houston Astros themed bike.

If I only lived in Texas. Went with a brown vintage brown seat since I'm a D-backs fan.

Time to start putting thing together.

I love clamp-on sprockets. Quick, easy & painless.

Wanted a cooler chainring and gear ratio with a little more muscle. Was a 44/18 = 2.44 (good) Would have been 36/18 = 2.00 (okay, if I lived on a hill), is now 36/14 = 2.57 (perfect, IMO)

Not All mufflers are created equal. The Super Rat has a shorter muffler. Notice the port size difference on the mufflers.


Ready to bolt-up.


Even the exhaust flange is different on the Super Rat
