  Important Announcement

THIS IS NOT!!!! THE ORIGINAL RATBIKE.ORG, BUT AN ARCHIVE FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT.

side view
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.
