Be careful not to touch any overhead power lines with that tall sissy bar.

Thanks.

It is so cool that Jerald Sulky sells the 26" x 2.125 Cheater Slicks and Lowrider makes an affordable larger banana seat! This bike was a three speed so it could also be fitted with a stick shift and caliper brakes....
