hobbybobby Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 This is my fendered, Tom Daniels Ice T, hence the word play of the naming (Defender)... The modifications: Fenders, ...top chop, ...tailgate closed, ...wired motor, ...exhaust system and exhaust tips, ...front and rear lights, ...two single seats, ...shifter, ...dashboard, ...wheels with machined and polished aluminum sleeves, ...front gums are made of an NBR laboratory tubing, the back rubbers are carved of a bicycle handlebar grip... Hope, you like it.

This hose has the name Perbunan®, is not very expensive and is easy to edit. The inner tube diameter is chosen so, that it no longer needs to be processed. But he should be about one millimeter smaller than the outside diameter of the rim, for a better hold. These back rubbers are of a handlebar grip for bicycles. With a little editing and mounted on my homemade wheels, the whole thing looks like this:
