I know right..lol..Foil on chrome? who would of thought..lol.. Well for now, its missing its headbadge so Im on the hunt for that, Its the bigger 50's style so it should be fun. I'm also hoping to find the twin headlights, tank and rear teardrop reflector for a full restoration...
 
Dude, go to 'memorylane-classics.com'! i love that place and they have the big 3.5 in long head badges in various colors, also ask for their catalog. you are going to flip out on all the stuff they have thats not on the website and at good prices. if i lived in ohio i'd be there all the time. i wish we had a place like that here in l.a.! the closest we have is 'chubby's' in culver city, but they have more commercial accessories. i just remembered 'palms cycles' also in culver city. enjoy!

So far...Just a head badge. I got the racks but the front didnt fit, it was a little long most likely from a boys bike. Im still looking :)
