70s Western Flyer Muscle Bike

[aka_locojoe]

70's era Western Flyer muscle bike. I chopped the original really long head tube down and replaced the bent 20" fork with a not quite as bent 26". NOS green glitter seat. New sissy bar had to be reshaped to fit the bike. Schwinn green glitter grips. Spray painted the frame and fork. Laced up a Shimano 3spd w/coaster brake which is controlled by a Shimano gooseneck shifter. Kustomized a reflector with a peace sign I cut out of aluminum. Profile "Imperial" chain ring.

wow thats a nice bike. i like the fade and the huge sissy.

i just found one like it at a yard sale for 3 bucks. except it has a "5 speed click stick".

yours is the only bike i can find so far on the net that looks similar.
