Nice craftsmanship, but if you lean, those boards will drag badly. (opposed to goodly)

There is a gentleman here in Maine that took a four cylinder Goldwing Standard (the original Valkyrie) and crafted new fenders, side panels, shelter (faux tank) and seat from wood. Certainly different. here's some info: http://www.pressherald.com/2015/10/04/stephen-gleasner-wood-turner/ |

Been riding with them for a couple of weeks Jess, I can make them drag, I have to work at it,,, but not as hard as Mallett.  I need to get some metal "taps" mounted under the toes. Hay Andy,, that bike is pretty cool, I'm not quite that far gone. |

Not a fan of the wood, but well executed and I am intrigued to see there are other Bumblebee "Tourers" out there...

Reminds me of 'Bozo' shoes for some reason  . But I agree well done. I can appreciate unique craftmanship on any bike. |

Do the floor boards fold up it they hit the blacktop?
I really like the rear rack.

Probably because that's what I was thinking when I was working on a shape Harry,, I wanted them BIG,, plenty of room to move your feet around. They fold up Britman, I used the original peg mounts. The brake side works properly, but I need to do something on the shift side to make the heel shift peg fold out of the way before I finalize the design and cast any of the pieces. As it is, if the bike drops on the left side, something will break. I didn't like the way the rear rack looked after I made the frame, but it is growing on me and can go on very easily if I ever need to carry a couple cases of beer or a big box. |
