Kinda what I was thinking
That third guard matches the forward thrust of the tank better than the first. But the first one is 1950's chrome...

I like the shape of it, but it just seemed too thin. Also it seemed to ride high so I would have to cut down the skirt for it to fit. I'll take a closer look though.
I might try the guard off of this bike.
Short skirts are okay, but I hate it when my guard rides high.
A little late but I think think this chainguard looks better with the tank...just sayin.

I pulled this guard and plan on giving it a try. I think the scallops will go well with the skirts and the tank. I may try the kickstand as well.

If it wasn't down to the wire I would.
Wow , please don't part this one out . Some of those Murray parts are getting hard to come by .
Is that a floating front hub I see ?
It is difficult to get the proper money for a ladies bike, so I probably will partially part this out. Yes that is a SW floating hub. I was planning on selling the wheels separately at some point.
In regards to the guard, my plan was to keep that for myself no matter what. I am hoping that it works on Sizzler as expected.
Can't wait to get home tonight and try these on. I had @slowriderz of Chop Shop Customz make these custom bars for me.
Mounted the chad bars time I got home tonight.
These came out perfect. Zero drawback
Grips look great on them too. These are my Western Sizzler El Toro bars!!

I was also excited about getting a look at how the Columbia chainguard would fit. It tool a little jiggling stuff around, but I got it all taped in place for this mockup.
I think it works very well with the lines of the tank and vents of the skirts.
I really like this view with the new bars too!!!!

The bars are cool. I like the look of them from the rear, and the front!
Yeah, with zero drawback on the El Toro bars, the disappear from the side view.
As a wise friend once told me, "Remember that when it comes time for the final photo."
These El Toro bars are sharp
Western Sizzler X-53 cattle prod fender update. - Had to make room in the fender for the floating sissy bars to clear, so i came up with this cattle prod scallop to the tail.
