Just got this pretty rough looking Higgins. Not sure of the year or model, or what I'm going to do with it.

Great Bike! Could be a Jetflow or Colorflow! But, very good bones to build on.

I believe that some Colorflows had the light mount bracket too.
 
At this point, it really doesn't make much difference. You could collect the needed parts and build it either way. No one would be the wiser. Both rank right up there as some of the coolest bikes of the 50's!
 
There's a lot you can do with it. A cruiser with apes, whitewalls, and leopard skin seat or a klunker, street skinny tire cruiser, or put it back to original, you name it. If you stretch out the beehive by reversing the brackets, remember there won't be stops, it'll bottom out and flip you, but it looks good. I found out the hard way.

Here's a 56 Jetflow.

I love that bare metal look.
I'll figure something good too do with it. Probably depends on how much I'm willing to spend. Thanks for the ideas.

You are welcome, there are some threads about removing paint, it would be cool to see what is under that spray bomb blue!
