LOOKING GOOD! INHO I LIKE THE OTHER CHAINGUARD THE MOST.I'D MAYBE PAINT IT, GET CREATIVE AND PUSH THE ENVELOPE...( JUST THINKING IF IT WERE MY BIKE) :mrgreen: KEEP IT UP IT LOOKS GOOD. LOVE THAT RAKE SO...GET TA BUILDIN'!! PEACE
 
Thanks Jake. I probably would have the other guard on there but it was missing the front mounting bracket. I got this one to fit good though. Just different I guess.

really diggin the chainguard..
the only issue i have with low bikes that have coaster brakes is when 'if your on a low bike with a freewheel you can back pedal to avoid something in the way, if you try to with a coasterbrake 'well you know... :lol:
end up slowing way down and probably hit object in the way anyway :/

Yes it is a different ride for sure. But I like it. Think of turning my bars back over. I'm too old to be leaning forward on long rides. LOL

get/make a laid back seat post and build some dropout extenders get some more leg room :wink:
 
Personally I'd bolt the light to the front fender mount bolt in the fork crown. Then use the Schwinn chain guard. Also if the kickstand is too short you can always put a big fatty on back and drop the front with a 24" or 20" wheel.
 
Thanks. I think I will try to move the light. I've never liked it there. I have sent payment for some apes from ''Wildcat". I am at a stand still on my truck project so I'll try to do the light move first.
 
So This is where the bike started this morning. I don't think the bike is ratty enough so I wanted to redo the kickstand. A buddy of mine welded up some chain for some reason and gave it to me. I think he knew I would use it somewhere. And walla a new kickstand. I also had my Schwinn chain guard that had no mounting brackets so I made some with a few angle brackets I had laying around. I didn't get to the light as I had a leak on my a/c drain and had to stop to fix that. anyways I'll paint the guard later and redo the light mounting. Heres some pics. 1st one is the before obviously.

I hate plumbing. Drains fixed so back to the bike. I'm pulling the chain guard off for prep and paint. trying to keep it rough looking on purpose. I hope I don't make it look too good lol. I want it to look similar to the frame if I can. What do you guys think?
 
Thanks, I never even thought about leaving it blue. I just thought that I should paint it because the panther was coming through and it was blue. You have a good point. I think I'll leave it alone right now.
 
I found some fenders that are new and painted silver. I put the front one on and put the chrome piece that goes on top of the fork on. The rear fender will take a little trimming to make the fit. I moved the headlight also. I'll post a pic tomorrow if weathers good.
