    Bucket racer clock prize for Kaitoke

    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..

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

    Takes away the prizegiving opportunity, of course.

    At least you already know the Chinese engine design to use

    Good idea for a prize as well.

    Will there be a A and B grade version?

    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.

    Why not use an old school bucket pic to base the design on instead of a new one? Seems more bucketish to me?
    Yes 4 strokes are for homos. Homo-sapiens that is, who have realized bigger is better.
