| Rake the rear of the frame for a lower position and make some panel bodnoed or welded in so you can't really tell for the lower rear would be my suggestion, I say do all twist AND birdcage... I got bout 3 bordcages on my bike (seat post and steering wheel) and the rest is all twisted... Personally I like twist better with a few birdcages here and there but its all up to you! Good luck and keep us posted! |

| It's a term used for when you salnt the frame to make the bike lower.. Choppers rake their goose encks so that they're forks sit at that angle and so do some lowrider bikes... What I was saying was that you can do the same for the rear end and sorta but it at an angle to make the bike lower... |

| cut part of the frame tube from the top and wled it up and use the cut out frame tube pieces from the top to extend the bottom so it looks like the frame was bent upward or something... Here's an example of a raked front.. http://www.wgmc.cjb.net/ Go to "new bike project" and it'll show my friend Josh raking his front and his flip flop bike.. |
