Here are the parts I have for this so far. In the short time i have had this and have been searching for parts to try to go back to near stock I am thinking that custom will be far cooler! :shock: :shock: :shock:

That rack is killer...love it!
 
Re: ~}{~ Evans Firebird ~}{~

here we go again! :lol: your endless supply of cool parts is astonishing! :mrgreen: cant wait to see where this one will go.
 
Re: ~}{~ Evans Firebird ~}{~

That is SWEET. If I am not mistaken, there was a complete Colson(? - I think It was a late Colson and not an Evans) "Firebird" listed on eBay. It fetched some good money. I don't remember the sweet rack you have, but it was still a sick bike. I tried to dig up some pictures using the 'completed listings' search option but I guess it was too long ago. :|

No rest for the weary eh Joe. As if it hasn't been said enough already, the rack and springer are sweet. Looking forward to wherever this one is headed!
 
Re: ~}{~ Evans Firebird ~}{~

Joe, you always come up with cool bikes. I have that Evans springer also that I took off a ladies Colson. I have it on a Huffman frame. Heres a picture of it when I was building it for a RRB Buildoff but never finished it.

The cleanout continues per the other halfs orders. The good thing is that as I am cleaning out i am finding parts for projects. So maybe cleaning often is a GOOD? thing. :roll: Here is the project as it sits now.
What you do not see is the Delta auto brake light unit that is now installed under the rack...and it works too! When you brake a ball bearing rolls forward and the second more powerful element in the bulb goes on and it becomes brighter.
