G'Day from South Aus
Postby theboss290 » Thu Jul 16, 2009 7:53 pm
Just wondering how many ppl are interested in this in SA Ive met a couple of ppl but they dont seem to be associated with any one.
Also is there any good places for parts for the dragsters there use to be a good shop near Thebarton but that has closed down any others out there ??
any info would be great cheers
Daniel

OK so they are a bunch of wild 20 year olds, but they love this stuff. They are Adelaides biggest fans of the dragster breed.
You need to ride with us too Boss.
Classic examples
You Tube
Boneshakers 1
and Boneshakers 4
All Adelaide and it just gets more momentum every summer!

just to see how it will all fit
Im loving the kustom culture rat rod seen atm, before i was into cars i was into building kustom and chopper push bikes. This was before my kids were born, Thought i better get off my back side and get back in to it and build the youngest some thing to cruise
So the project is a kustom 16" low rider which will have a rusty low rider / dragster look to it, the other bike in them photos is what she is having fun with now, the frames on both are identical but you will notice the ride hight and length in the kustom.
The idea is the frame will be a custom black with a large green metallic flake through it, the green seat from the other bike and NOS from the 70's green metallic handle grips, the bike will be a bitsa in true rat fashion with a comber nation of old and modern parts.
I will post up more when i get the work done.

Should be a interesting build though
I should of taken a photo of it with me standing next to it, the highest part of it in mok form was the top of the handle bars which came up to my knee's mind you once its built it will sit higher but not much !!

Thought I'd do a bit of a freshen up of my daughters old hack
Fresh paint , polish of the chrome , removed unnecessary bits , new seat as the other is going to be used on little rusty.
