    Fully custom low rider/springer

    Well, the time has come to get rid of my custom build! A beach cruiser and a chopper became married and this is the love child. Fully custom built front springer from the ground up, tons of hours into it, and it has traveled from Ohio to its new home in St. Petersburg, FL. Unfortunately I...

    is $75 good for a Mongoose Beast fat tire bike?

    hey guys, I found a Mongoose Beast Fat Tire and I am planning on going to get it tomorrow... I felt like $75 for it was pretty good... from the pic it looks to be in pretty good condition.. a little dirty but nothing wrong with it.

    any guesses on what size handlbars?

    hey guys, I am looking into replacing the grips on the bike I just built and was wondering if anyone knew off the top of their head what size the handlebars might be. I took them off a Concord 20" muscle bike... obviously I can measure when I get home, but thought someone may know off hand and...

    Smaller quill stem?

    hey guys, so I'm very close to finishing my first build and it looks great! In my opinion of course! The issue I'm having now is that I bought a Huffy Cranbrook as my donor/parts bike and we used a chopper frame as the main frame. Now, when we went to put the quill stem from the Cranbrook into...

    Cool Concord

    picked this up today off craigslist, thought it looked pretty cool! The head badge says CONCORD, has a banana seat in pretty good condition with a sissy bar and apes. Overall it's in pretty good shape. The guy said the tires are probably bad so he went into his house and grabbed me two brand new...

    Huffy Cranbrook- replacing fork

    hey guys, I'm started to work on a huffy Cranbrook and I'm going to switch out the front forks. The handlebar stem is welded to the tube... Is there anyway to get the forks off the front without cutting the stem off? Or do I have to cut it and then re-weld it back on if I want to use that stem?

    anyone made a springer fork?

    hey guys, so I really want a dual springer fork for my build I'm starting (like the Monark ones some people are selling) but I really don't have the cash to be spending over $100 on just the fork... has anyone built forks that look similar to the dual springers for less money? Or faked it just...

    FINISHED!! First Build- Chopper/cruiser

    Hey guys, So I am going to be working on my first bike build and figured I would get started on the build thread. You may have seen my other post where I talked about getting the frame for this build for free! So how could I not try to build it up? I have never welded or really worked with...

I've been looking around for cool parts that I'd like to use and found a pair of red rims with tires that came off a Suzuki TL 1000 motorcycle. The guy who...
