Hello my fellow cruisers, I was able to progress a bit farther on my triple clamp project today! Scribed the first line into the block, poked the clearance holes, machined internals, fabricated the fixture to contour the outside, machined the outer shape and now need to machine the slots and...

Hello there Fat Tire Cruiser, I see either your Prowler and the Cheetah never get much dirt on um! Or you dont let um get much on them! You look like a super detailer and I absolutely love your photos! What a beautiful place to ride. Very relaxing just to imagine cruising there! Keep posting...

Yeah, no more "flying W's" for this ole fart! I think slicks would be super smooth for pavement pounding but there are times I strap my Cheetah to the back of our coach and take it camping. Riding along the beach with a few less pounds of air in the stock tires seems to work very well. I did...

Pismo Beach California a week ago...

Hi Doc, I've been eye ballin this unit which looks like it'll bolt directly to the stock OEM sidestand location. I would modify it to clear the 4.0" tire. Modify it to feature an adjustable height as my front forks are a little longer than OEM forks. Hope this helps... Center Kick Stand SKU...

Hey there fellow cruiser, It takes a crank puller that threads into the crank assembly and then you turn the blue handle to push the crank arms off the bottom bracket very cool tool! Park Tool CCP-44 Crank Puller Bike Tool Splined Cranks Shimano Octalink ISIS...

I've finally mounted my 56T Alloy Chainring on the Cheetah and the first test ride was simply amazing! I can crank it up to 32mph in 7th with the throttle pinned out of the seat cranking on flat ground and still have the bottom end to climb some fairly good inclines with my moto-head mountain...

Those forks look amazing! excellent bit of research done Chip! Let us know how they work and be sure to post photos when you get them mounted.

Riding along side the seagulls is tons of fun...gotta wash off the salt water right after and lube everything soon after though.

I’ve bought the two pieces of material that will become the upper and lower triple clamps to mount the modified downhill forks onto the Cheetah and have drawn them in CAD. I’ve finished machined the caliper spacers and threaded axle caps and am hopeful to be able to squeeze the clamps in between...

I did not find anything I liked online is why I decided to machine my own clamps.

Very nice work chip!!

Originally Sam from Electric Bike Center suggested a 54T but I could only find a 56T. It is a large number of teeth and I haven't yet mounted it. I'm pretty sure I'll need extra chain as well. We will see if I lose bottom end climbing ability but I mainly just cruise the flatness of the SoCal...

I'm guessing "Fat Tire Cruiser" and I are the only ones that want a bigger chain ring. Well hope all is well with you "Fat Tire Cruiser" I found this unit and will install after my new suspension fork is mounted and return with feedback.... 56T Alloy Chainring 170mm Alloy Crank Pedal...

Thank you Timpo, After the mods I had to make to the telescopic tubes and machining the new triple clamps I have to agree with your choice too. I may still fabricate a springer in the near future. Thanks again for your input.

Have any of you Cheetah owners thought about adding suspension forks? Originally, I was thinking of an old style springer like those used on older motorcycles like these. but I've bought a more modern set of telescopic units and and currently in the process of machining a set of triple...

Love those smooth tires! Were they an upgrade?

Thanks!!

Just got an email from "Wicked Thumb Information" regarding their front suspension fork! Sounds great! Offering a $300.00 dollar upgrade should be a huge boost to their product line.
