Here is my latest other toy adventure.

I started out with just one to build for me to ride at the beach. Well that soon got followed by another then another and then 1 for my grandson too!

Mine I have raked it and added 40" forks to it, disc brakes to both wheels. I put the biggest rotor I could find on it.
I bought handle bars and nice grips, along with a banana seat and had the sissy bar made at work. I just swapped out the rear wheel assembly for a 7 speed assembly and bought a old school shifter for it. I hope to have it ready to ride by my son's wedding in September at the beach.
I bought a Mongoose a few weeks ago for $40.00 that had the 7 speed back assembly. I robbed it all off that bike for mine.
You can see how much rake I put in mine compared to the other one, they both have the same length forks just no rake in the one on the left.

It sucks not being able to hear! LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB! After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
