Maybe it was me? I love the green tires.
Here's one I did for Dingo.

Got it all together and it was warm enough so I rode it around town. Not sure about a couple things but pretty sure this is going to be the set up. I was unsure about what bars to use because I have a whole stack of them but I really like apes and I just think they are so darn comfortable to use. The "Rat-For-Now" was from not knowing if I would keep it rusty/crusty or mock it all up like this and take it all apart sandblast and then paint it... Gosh I'm not 100 percent but I think I'm keeping this one rusty... think it looks good that way :wink:

the threads were totally gone on the original rusty non-springer forks by the time i got the top bolt off so i needed something to replace it :lol: if i come across a rusty springer i will probably replace this one and put it on a schwinn. That bright wall is a local restaurant in town... it blinds you as you drive by haha. Oh and thanks everyone! :D

Im likin' the contrast of the new bits & bobs against the rusty! FWIW, yopu know the cheap chrome on that springer is gonna just go anyway if you dont polish and wax it........
So many bikes, so little time.......
