Looks great with the rigid frame. What's the plan on the other end? Short or long? Spring or cartridge? Damn I want one like that.

You can go to the Cycleonemanufacturing website and the basic prices are listed.
I have a couple of upgrades.

Shipping from Oklahoma to California was $184.00
I thought it was a good value for the money and I liked the people that run the company.
They are motorcyclists as well.


Have known Red and Kate for few years thru other websites...they are REAL good people

Prices are fair and quality is tops.

Another view.

A JPG is the same as JPEG file extension. The JPG is more up to date.
JPEG was the original designation. JPEG stands for Juried expert pictures group.

That is the group of photographers that set up the system for displaying photos on the net.

IF you see JPEG and it does not allow you to post from the net you can simply change it to JPG and it WILL work.

Re:Road Star Project started 3 Years, 5 Months ago  
I finished those fender struts and welded on them and filed until they could stand very close inspection.
Today I worked on the area where the spring seat springs will be perched on the frame.
I added a plate that is strong.
The spring seat mount plate is level with the ground. The wood blocks the frame is sitting on are exactly 5 inches high. Stock height is 5.7 inches.
That is the actual ground clearance of the frame to the ground.
I also welded on the frame lugs for the foot rests to bolt onto.

How much clearance do you have between the tire and what would be the mount for the struts if they were to be mounted inside the fender?

Re:Road Star Project started 3 Years, 5 Months ago  
Even if I could do that , I would not want to do it.
I do not like hiding all connections and wires on the bike.
I think many of the parts are necessary for the transistions between the parts to work.

Many custom bikes try to smooth every part and
hide every part, then I feel the motorcycle has lost its soul.
Like hidden throttle cables etc.,.
That is one of the biggest problems with a electric motorcycle.

How do you show the parts of the electric motors and other
parts and make the bike look interesting?
And it still needs some sort of sound.
