Just picked up a Dyno Tangerine Von Franco Cruiser in rough condition but mostly all there. Missing seat , one D , kickstand and grips. Any help with locating parts and advice on restoring would be great. Thanks

Welcome! This would have been a good 'INTRO' post.
Maybe snap a picture of your bike too. I would put an ad in the 'WANTED' section of the classifieds here.
Dyno's are great bikes!

Welcome John P ! , I am missing one D on my Dyno Von Franco Tiki . I find parts from time to time on Ebay listed under Dyno cruiser. I bought a pair of the faux D repros https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dyno-Glide...184513?hash=item2ac5cd2d81:g:rgAAAOSwdjNZBS7l . Not exact copy. Making do.

Welcome!

I found a 97 Dyno that needed a seat and handlebars. It must have been new when they were stolen off it, a common thing here in Hawaii. So, it was pretty old but in dirty but new condition. I used Electra parts because there were no Dyno seats or bars around. The skull grips were almost identical to what Dyno put on them. If you can find Dyno parts, that's great, but Electra stuff is pretty close. If yours has the same mount for the kickstand, there's a adjustable one that's cheap at Wallyworld but will work until you get the right one.

Thanks Wildcat for the Info. That is the exact Kickstand Mount I have on my bike I will check it out. For now I’ll go with the electra handlebars they look pretty close. When I figure out this site I’ll post some pictures. thanks again

An idea on the D stickers ; they cover the screws that hold the tank halves on. I found round magnets , with a hole in the middle , that are sized like flat washers. I plan to put the stickers on the magnets. The hole will span the screw heads. Removable, to work on tank. Search "magnet rings" .

Sounds like a good idea. Let me know how it works.
