THIS IS NOT!!!! THE ORIGINAL RATBIKE.ORG, BUT AN ARCHIVE FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT.
Here's a picture of my 1986
Honda CX650. It's kicking up tons of smoke on the Dirt
roads of Micronesia. At this point it's about half
Jeep. The headlight is Jeep. The rear fender was made
from an old Jeep hood. The seat was made with leftover
foam and vynil from the same Jeep's seats. Mirror is
rebar with a rubber hose on it and a suction mirror
stuck into the top. The side panels are wire mesh. On
the tank I did alot of ruff and crappy fiberglassing,
topping it of with knee pads made from the soles of my
old tennis shoes, and painting the whole thing with
undercaoting (it's sticky for a few days but then
hardens up to a tasty bug filled finish.
