Try Sitting On This

Took three days to cook up this sucker. Yet still in progress but it works great and feels exhilarating getting out of first gear, twisting the throttle, hearing that rev and.. clickity click.. shift to second gear with an ass scratching motion. It's just sick.

I had to reinforce another layer of links over the first as there was slack, my guess is from the quality of the chain, which wasn't raw iron. I probably scored mild steel. Anyhow it's a bit stiff on the downshift, still have to figure out the correct angling of the linker but none the less it pushes the bike forward till it's yakkity yakk yakk yakkity - nuff said..

To quote a famous builder's words: "I don't give a *woot* if its uncomfortable as long as it looks wicked."


This is phase one. Solely for Brutus'. I've already designed a modified and commercially viable solution should anyone be dorkish enough to have me make one for them. Who would anyhow? Next up on the list, internal throttle for my super low inverted narrow bars. Help me stop..
