I will be using a decorative outside light for my headlight....not your standard light! Needs to be sanded down to get the paint off but looks very cool for a front accessory. Plus, it's all aluminum like the frame! A little 'Lipstick and Wrenches' touch the the Polished Princess.


Awesome pics! And really good looking bike!

Update! I'm sorta new to this site and seeing there has already been fellow builders use the name Silver Queen...I did a change on the name of my build just to be different. I'll be calling her POLISHED PRINCESS. Hope that's okay...?
I wasn't suggesting that you change the name. It just made me chuckle when I spotted it. My KWEEN was six years ago, and its long forgotten. Most of the members, here now, never heard of mine. Besides she was a "nothing special" build. Yours' sounds like it's going to be ten times better!..I hope I didn't make you feel uncomfortable. (I'll shut up now:grin:)

Good Luck!

Not uncomfortable at all! I saw there was another bike called Silver Queen also....so I changed to be a little different. You are AOK! Thanks for the luck on the build! :happy:
 
Okay, challenging myself on this build. Stepping out a little more with some harder designs. Going to try and put my ART/DESIGN education to more use. I want a "girly" rider but also want an aggressive look. Mix it up a bit! I plan to build this with some detailed patterns so that I can possibly make additional bikes similar to this in the future. Glove box to hold your make-up! A must have for any lady! Not only will it hold your make-up…but I will hide the generator inside of the box too. I plan to use rivets and fabricate the box to fit nicely between the seat tube and the rear fender….which will be the "mini skirt guard". The POLISHED PRINCESS will be a great new challenge for me. I think I will be getting to know my tools a lot better as this build continues. :praise: Tools here I come! Broken nails here I come too! I am truly excited about this build and hope to have input from others as I go. It always helps….

Will fab some things for this front springer to connect to the Monark frame. Thinking about bending the bars to resemble more of a heart shape (like sprocket)...but still undecided with that. I looked at the front springer area again today and it seems to flow nicely the way it is. But we will see...it may need more of a heart shape?
