Mike Beans New Design, The Classic Cruiser! New for 2006!

[Mike Bean]

After many beers and many hours, I finally finished the final assembly of my new design the Classic Cruiser for 2006.

The sunlight was going down, but I manage to get in a quick shot and made some enhancements with Adobe Photoshop.

For those interested, I will be releasing a set of plans for this design sometime this week.

Tk20fan,

When I designed this BSR, my main idea was to keep it simple. Build a strong frame with a cool look and make it simple to build. All angles are 45 deg. or less. If I remember correctly there are only 4 or 5 different angles to cut .

The front end I did a redesign of the steering column and fabricated a bushing that inserts in the steering column to eliminate all vibration noise and give the steering a nice tight feel. Also in the steering column design, I created steering column mounts which will allow the complete removal of the steering column and steering wheel assembly for easy transport in vehicles with a low ceiling.

I was very impressed the first time I took it out for a drive. It handles very smooth and drives excellent.

Hey Woodchuck,

The throttle and brake controls are actually from one of thoes stand up scooters. We wanted something different than the twist grips.

Mike looks Great!!! It should be a very easy design to build for someone who wants to build their first bsr, Simple design with few angled different cuts. Let use know when you get the plans ready. I am sure people will be interested in them around here and I will try to sell some for you!! Great Work!! :lush:

I wanted to say thanks for all the compliments on the new design. Sometimes you don't know if you did good until you hear it from others.

I felt myself the design was good, but hearing it from others let's me know I was on the right track for this build.

Thanks Again!

[Faberimicator]

Hey mike nice job. I dont know if my design is a good one for new builders or not. I am an experienced fab man so it was a pretty simplistic build for me I have a poll going on it. on thing I didnt do was name it. Could I get any suggestions? Theres morepics available. In the mean time keep bilding?:cheers:

[Mike Bean]

Hey Faber,

When I look at your BSR, it looks like it wants to fly. Maybe some name pertaining to speed, flight I dunno. It is very stealth or sleek looking.

Just some thoughts for a name...
