Bucket racer clock prize for Kaitoke

[nudemetalz]

Greetings,

I'm going to manufacture a clock similar in concept to the Superbike clock I did for Mudboy's fundraiser.
This will be a major prize for the KAITOKE EASTER BUCKET MEETING.
I want it to be a generic bucket racer


Questions are...
2 or 4 stroke?
Beam type frame?
FXR150 based?
RWU or USD forks?
No fairing?

This is what that original clock looked like..

[rwh]

Delay making it, so you can base it on the winner's own bike?

Takes away the prizegiving opportunity, of course.

[nudemetalz]

Good idea.
Cheers :)

[Kendog]

At least you already know the Chinese engine design to use :msn-wink:

Good idea for a prize as well.

Will there be a A and B grade version?

[nudemetalz]

A & B,...?

hmmm dunno,...bit of CAD/CAM work for me to do 2 different ones.
Could be an idea.

A Loncin trophy though?
errr........ :eek:

[nudemetalz]

Here's a quick CAD mockup of a generic bucket I did tonight.
It's only half done, ie no wheel spokes or brakes etc, but you get the drift.

That looks like Fishies bike.

[bungbung]

That looks like my bike :2guns:

[nudemetalz]

Well Fishies and Bungbung's bikes are powered by Loncins..... :laugh:
Oh and "so is yours" I hear? Really? Oh....

[Skunk]

Doesn't look like anything I'd own :laugh:

Cool idea Nudey

Why not use an old school bucket pic to base the design on instead of a new one? Seems more bucketish to me?

[nudemetalz]

Okay, let me have a little fiddle on the CAD...

Okay,...how does this look??

Bling for the person who can guess what this bucket was based from...
Shouldn't be tooooo hard... :whistle:

and yup, there should be footpegs on it.. :doh:

[Skunk]

Well, it's a rotary valve two smoker with twin shocks... ain't anything I own.

Looks like a B grade bike to me.......... :laugh:

The upside down forks on the first bike are a bit Rad!!!! do you guys actually have bikes like that down there? we don't.......

[saxet]

Never mind Skunk, not everyones gonna ride something you'd own. Seriously Nudey either are cool. Well done.

[nudemetalz]

Cheers Saxet :)

Bikes like the old-school one are getting few and far between now.
Pamela is probably the best representative of that design.

USD forks on a bucket? Yup, quite a few have. Check out Fi5hy's, Sully60's, one of Skunk's...
I'm going to build a new frame this year eventually which will have USD's on it.

I used to race a bike very similar to my CAD pic back in 1993.
It had a hinge in the frame as far as handling went but was bloody fast !!!
And it was a Suzuki rotary valve single.....

[Skunk]

Never mind Skunk, not everyones gonna ride something you'd own.
And that's the way it should be :laugh:

[nudemetalz]

yup, your machines are one of a kind, Skunk....

[Pumba]

I was seriously considering putting a set on the FXR before xmas. Probally the only reason it didnt happen is cause it was two much money to spend when I have working set of forks already attached:shit:

[Sully60]

That looks like Fishies bike.


That looks like my bike :2guns:


Doesn't look like anything I'd own :laugh:


That one actually bears the closest resemblance to mine at the moment (shorty exhaust fitted):bleh:

More bucketish than what? Most bikes racing in Wellington have perimeter frames, even your Kamayamasuki thing!

Looks like a B grade bike to me.......... :laugh:

You don't have a shit show down here unless you run USD's or an FXR:shifty:
Check sig pic.

Hey Nudey how hard would it be to take the image from a photo of someone on the day, simplify and use that?

Not difficult at all.
I mean to say, that "old school bucket" one is heavily based on a GP100 picture.

I just thought a prize such as this should have image representing the spirit of Bucketing.

maybe there could be a prize for the oldest bucket as well?
