PROJECT 1963 AMERICAN

Man, this is making me think about that Hollywood sitting on the back patio...

I have a sissy bar on it, I'll measure it and let you know.

Lookin good!

Thanks Skoda. I just bought a 36" bar yesterday at my LBS and I plan to measure twice and cut once. :wink:

My seat should be arriving this week too. Can't wait to finish this one up....it's fun to ride, although, I'm testing my manhood by riding a bike around the neighborhood with a basket on the front...LOL!

 

[Markm]

and your threatening your manhood by riding without a seat!!

Ha Ha...hoping that will change today....c'mon USPS!

Finally got my seat and sissy bar installed. I'm really wishing I had a set of sweet daddy white walls for this. Man it would look sweet with a white wall slick out back...too bad nobody makes a 24" S7 version. I think I'll be adding a shortie chrome fender out back too. May try some white grips too. So here she is for now.

 

[Larry]

Right on.

Was schwinn proprietary on 24" tires too?

Nah...just the goofy S7 size that only fits these rims. :roll:

The tires on there now are Kendas, but are specific for this rim.

Very Nice Job Steve!!!..
it might look nice with White Metal Flake Grips as well.

Kev.

 

[Markm]

Sweet as usual!!!

 

[Rat Rod]

Got a set of white Schwinn slimlines in the mail from Pete at Hyper-Formance today. I think they look better than the blue grips. :wink:

And here's the before shot.

Perfect job in taking an overlooked bike and turning it into a real gem.

Thanks CMAN!

The funny part is that this bike is one of the more fun bikes of mine to ride.

Nothing like a 24" Sting-Ray.

 

[Rat Rod]

A little $1.99 Wal-Mart blue reflector action to finish her off.

Just need to paint the screw in the middle blue to match.

 

[user 135]

nice final touch on the reflector. How about making a blue band Bendix?
