Ha ha ha, ya. The seat works good. Much better than the banana seat that was on there when I got it. :) That seat hurt man! ha ha Thanks for the compliments.

So, I've had this bike for a year. I bought it for $80. Last year I flipped the forks and then rode it. Then I picked up an ape hangar bike that the ad was called a Schwinn. Not sure. Anyway, I used some spray can paint stripper and went to town. Then, I grabbed some sandpaper in the...

That is a cool bike. Some good inspiration for my JC Higgs. Thanks for posting!

Re: the Navigator "I am...the Navigator" That was a sweet movie. This should be a cool bike!

Glad you escaped the flood. This build is cool looking so far. I think stretched bikes are cool. I wish I had a welder or could weld. Keep the pics coming!

I knew it was a JC Higgins. Today I finally took to sanding the tank. I was on it about an hour, ready to go in for dinner and started sanding the logo area. I was surprised to see that JC Higgins began to appear from underneath all that red, white, green, red paint. I have confirmed finally...

OK, here's my build thread. Here's some pics of it so far. The bike is pretty close. I just bought it last week, actually traded my '87 Road Bike for it. It's got working lights, sweet monkey bars, a lame-o purple banana seat cover, white walls. It's got a pretty good paint job. My goal is...

New pics, finally... Here's some pics I finally took today of my In-N-Out Burger Cruiser rod. I swapped my Rickster Schwinn grips over to this bike from the Salt Flyer, so now they're on a schwinn. I need to get rid of that purple seat cover and find a better color, maybe yellow or...

Yeah, that was the same way I felt when I flipped my cruiser bars upside down. Looked cool, but not too fun to ride. Can't wait to see the 24's on there. I dig monkey bars, I've got some on my new second bike. Have you seen pics of that yet? I am thinking an In-n-out theme on that one...

Way to go guys! That was a cool read. Agreed, these bikes are not exactly easy riders, but that's not why we ride them is it? ;)

Nice bikes and cool Type3. My favorite aircooleds are T3's.

Ricky! Sweet. Just picked up my second bike. I've changed my Salt Flyer multiple times. I agree, rat bikes are never done. They just keep evolving. It's so fun! Keep the mods and pics coming man!

Re: Hechtrod's In-N-Out Burger cruiser rod Ok, well I made the trade and picked up the INnOut bike this afternoon. The seat needs to go. At least the purple faux suede stuff. Maybe some red and yellow InNOut color seat material. :) The handle bar grips need to go. They're a plasticy...

Re: Hechtrod's In-N-Out Burger cruiser rod In-N-Out is a family run biz. They don't let franchises just anywhere. I was in Cali last week and we ate there 3 times. Best Burger in the world. I didn't really appreciate it until I left Cali. Brig, yeah, my wife is already wondering why I'm...

So, I'm planning on trading a local guy this bike above for my old road bike. It looks to be in great shape and mostly done, but of course I'll have to do some things to make it my own. The white light tank looks like it will fit my "In-N-Out" decals perfectly. I'll likely do something...
