ghetto rigin!
what is the most ghetto rigging you have done to your bike just to ride the next day?
so my radiator got hot and melted my fan... so i called around tried to find a fan..... 75 bucks at the local junk yard .... so my stuntrider problem solving skills kicked in and i went to Ace Hardware and bought a fan for a heater vent.... and mounted it up the thing works better than the stock fan... much quieter to... cost me 5 bucks...

Re: ghetto rigin!
when i bought the bike the previous owner broke the key in the ignition so i had to start it with needle nose pliers
radiator sprung a leak and i crimped it with needle nose pliers to slow it down, rode with a gallon of water in my subframe and kept stopin every couple of min to refill the radiator. used a pen to extend one of the radiator hoses that broke.
rigged a headlight from walmart with wires that i twisted together and taped over and held on by zipties, jb welded my kinked gastank that was leakin in 2 places. jb weld all my engine cases. welded my oil pan.
have both brake resiviors ziptied on, had ignition ziptied, seat ziptied, rear tail light ziptied, the plastic that holds the battery and trunk is ziptied, there is a hole in my trunk that i put cardboard in to stop water from sprayin on me from my back tire, gauges and license plate are ziptied on, and a bicycle bell for my horn:YEAH
