Electra Ghostrider

I picked this bad boy up off of CL today. The apes are too over the top (literally) for me. So I'll be swapping them out.

Other parts that I'll be changing:

175mm Redline Monster Cranks

Odyssey Euro 19mm Bottom Bracket:

Porkchop BMX 44t Chop Saw Chainring & Spider:

Basman Project 346 Shifter:

Bar possibilities:

Vortex Motocross Bars (minus the pad):

Electra Attitude Bars (Ghostrider stock bars):

Thanks Luke. The only parts that I do not have are the handlebars. I really like the way that the Vortex Bars look, I just hope if I decide to use them that they go with the bike.

Re: Electra Ghostrider (not a build, just parts mods)

awesome selection in parts mate..

i was gonna suggest electra T bars or 'double T's? i dont rember the name but Electra stock bent back apes look cool already as is
id go with bmx cranks too on one of them electra choppers forsure aswell.. probably Redline Flights or Primo Hallow bites..

kinda funny cause i was looking to build something similar, the Ratfink model.. its nearly the same but just Green :lol:
but i was looking for a nice cruser since i like to ride so much and i have to ride everyday to school :roll:
the old stingray Nanner is rotten out and im in need of a new crusier till i can afford to fix it properly not fix as it falls off kinda thing i been doing :lol:

enough ramble.. Cool bike man 8)

Re: Electra Ghostrider (not a build, just parts mods)

Mods finished.....for now. I am going to have to tinker with the teeth ratio between the rear cog & chainring.

Thanks! I have a couple of more ideas in my head for future mods. I want to run 26" wheels. Has anyone put one on the rear of one of these frames?

It works great! I have one a Schwinn Klunker. The only place that I have seen them for sale is Niagara Cycle Works.

Parts choices were really nice ...except that kill you rear Brooks. Thats just me though.
Your probably young enough to roll a Brooks. The bike did turn out nice.

Is 42 young enough? The B190 is ultra comfy right out of the box. I am 250 lbs of beef & it seems fine.

Re: Electra Ghostrider now with Al's Rapid Transit Cruiser Bars

When I got home from work this evening (8:30pm MTZ), I had a package waiting for me!! It was my Al's Rapid Transit Cruiser Bars!! I bout went pee pee in my pants!! I've been wanting a set of these bars & after seeing Rat Rods Skull Skates Cruiser with a set, I knew I had to have a set myself.

I decided to throw them on the Ghostrider & BOY OH BOY do they look SWEEEEEEEEEET on there!

I will post pics in the a.m.!!

Re: Electra Ghostrider now with Al's Rapid Transit Cruiser Bars

Waiting :mrgreen:

The funny thing was when I ordered mine...I actually forgot I had ordered them and when I got home and saw this tall box in our entry way I thought...what the heck is that? Even after I picked up the box and read the label I still didn't know what it was. :lol:

I wondered what a set would look like on my Straight 8 or the Lakester.

I like the fact that they are wide & not so tall. From sitting on the GR they feel nice & comfy. I'll take it for a little spin in the morning, this weekend I'll be going on cruise with a group of bike nuts. I'll post pics of the cruise!! :mrgreen:

Waiting :mrgreen:

I got called in to work early, so I took some quick pictures (not the best). I will take better ones this weekend.

Going to move the shifter to the normal position on the bars or install a jockey shifter.

Re: Electra Ghostrider now with Al's Rapid Transit Cruiser Bars

Yep...they look pretty sweet on there. :wink:
