All the style, none of the rust! Really nice.

I was going to update my sig line, but I'm not seein' anything worth plagiarizing right now.

I'm riding a Sparker Special and I'm looking to add a Monarch Style springer by Crossbow industries. The fork tube on the springer will have to be made longer and also the spring retainer plate will need to be made longer as well. Does anyone know of a bicycle fabricator in New jersey who might be interested in helping?

Be sure to read the warning about Monarch springers elsewhere on this website.

here are some totally cool forks you can order through Bike Rod & Custom
http://bikerodnkustom.homestead.com/parts.html

and here are some from Choppers U.S.
http://www.choppersus.com/store/product ... er-Chrome/

both are expensive, but they'll never break on you like a Monarch
That's right...I'm old school.

Nice Bike, Casey!!! I love the front brake cable route.

I've never seen that Electra before? Is that something they sell in Germany/Europe only?

Thanks Skip! The reason why you've never seen this kind of electra before is that i build up this bike on my own. :wink: This was the original basis:

Ah. There is the confusion. Electra is a Bicycle Manufacturer. All of the bikes in the thread were bought very much as you see them in the photos.

It appears it was my confusion. :oops: my apologies. I did not notice the big "Electra" on the chain guard.

Made some changes to my bikes today: rotated the stem on my Ghostrider 180º, so the handlebars are a bit closer towards myself. Had a carcrash about 10 years ago, and am still having necktroubles from my whiplash from time to time. This bike is simply a little too long for my 6' and was killing my neck after longer rides, but I like these handlebars, and apes would make it even worse. Sorted !

Next I added some parts to my Electra Ratrod by swapping some stuff from my Velor: headlight, beelights, dingdong bell, and seat.
Looks a lot more colourfull this way, some shiny summer blingbling 8) but see for yourself if you like it:

Three of a perfect pair:

I should give them a good spring clean now, but I'm out of time. Duty calls !
