This is how I think a bike should look! I hope some of you share that opinion!! LOL. :mrgreen:
The bike is a 1955 Rollfast. I got it and an older J.C. Higgins girls bike for $25!
I hand built the tank and exhaust. I made arms for the forks and a girder to support it. This put the wheel 2" forward and lowered the front 2" also made a rear drop to match.
Well, that's it. Any questions just ask and please, tell me what you think!

Thank you! It's running great. Mind, It's cold in Pa. so I only have about 4 miles on it. it will get better as it breaks in. This is the 3rd bike I have built with the long exhaust. I run the risk of plugging the converter in the muffler because it's so for from the engine but have found that if I can get off break-in fuel before it plugs I should be ok.
Thank's cman 93 Samurai on 31's Fun toy!

Nice! A pal of mine at work has built about 4-5 motored bikes. I've been thinking of building a replica '60's road racer...Any close-ups of that exhaust pipe? How did you make it?
 
I think you have done a fabulous job.

With me, I'm not gonna ever have paint on gears and I'm wondering about the blue and black, but overall you have done a great job, here. Looking forward to seeing any of your next builds.

Talent.
