I saw your bike at the pinstriping booth waiting to get done - wish I could have met up with you. For all the guys that see the pictures of this bike on the thread, trust me - IT LOOKS EVEN BETTER IN PERSON!!!

The show promoter, Mike, has just asked me to help organize a bike ride Friday afternoon at the show! Sounds like we're going to take a cruise through the show grounds and a little bit around the town. I'm sure we'll get a good turnout! http://www.symcoshakedown.com/Symco_Shakedown/Main.html

Just found out that they're going to have a bike display and a bike swap meet at the Shakedown!!! Info is in the "New for 2012" section of this link: http://jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=696418

I'm in Kenosha, where are you at? Here's the bike I'm going to try and sell there. (also on the for sale forum)

Traditional hot rod show/party. Awesome crowd, great cars and music. Nothing set up really for bikes but there are a good deal of people that bring 'em. I'm bringing my RRBO7 bike and a '63 Coast King that I'm going to try and sell. They have a little swap area that usually has some nice bikes...

Took the bike for another good ride over the weekend and a little one today and realized that I have to raise the rack up a little. Once the tire was fully inflated it started to rub the battery box a bit. Gotta have it ready for the SYMCO SHAKEDOWN Aug 10th and 11th in Unionville WI. It's a...

Re: Shakedown (Details 7-24) ANYBODY GOING TO THE SYMCO SHAKEDOWN THIS YEAR? AUG 10TH AND 11TH. I went last year and brought a couple of bikes - met up with a bunch of other people with bikes. Nice work on the bike, Greg. Like the work that you've done so far!

Thanks everyone for the nice comments! Now that I've got it "done" I realize that I have to gun blue the seat post and the brackets I made for the rack.

The whole bike is cool but the color combo takes that bike to another level - I want it!

Re: The Seminole Love the bike, nice work. Pretty sure that head badge is the coolest I've ever seen!

Here it is: '85 Murray frame, sanded, gun blued and cleared. Fork, rack, chainguard, and stem from a '63 Coast King Sportster. Lights work, each one runs on 4 AA's, pretty bright, the headlight batteries are in an old tobacco tin. The Stewert Werner speedo is one of my favorites, when I found...

Well, I wasn't planning on putting this in the build-off so I didn't take as many photos as I would have liked. At any rate, here is what I came up with: I started with a '63 Coast King Sportster, I bought an '85 Murray and thought it would be cool to use the wheels from that on my Coast King...

Here's what the bike looked like when I picked it up. It definitely rides better than it did at first - Here's some of the stuff done to it: ditched the baskets and fenders Schwinn Bendix rear wheel new rear tire antique green dice turned into valve stem caps chopped the a rear fender bracket...

Here's my '63 Coast King Sportster.
