Put a fork on her last night. Today I went to the rim pile and found one that fit the old fork. Not a flightliner fork, but will do until I find a better option.

I had never seen this version of this bar until they were handed to me. First thought was, those will look good on a muscle bike... ‐----------------------------------------- Today I took a minute to pull the tank to assess the damage. The innards for the electrical are rusted to almost...

I started two and might not have the time to finish either. Go for it, have fun with it.

Put a tire on the back, cleaned the chain with some bathroom cleaner, and oiled it. Rides pretty well. Has a wobble and needs true-ing. Hub needs rebuilding, it's soft on the brakes. Took off the tank to replace the batteries and found the tab the button contacts is corroded. Broke off...

Picked up this Higgins Flightliner flightless Haven't figured out the year yet, but I think she's from 62 or 63. She's got a lot of rustina with a bit of patina. Started as a metallic blue and has become the lady you see now. Some Wald Crazy bars were thrown into the deal as a 'Goody'. I was...

Lucked into this 54 Higgins skip-tooth. For a start, she needs a good cleaning, maybe a little BLO or Wax. Lube on the chain. Front fork needs to be slightly straightemed. Horn tank works, just need to add some new batteries. This fine Lady also needs some new shoes. Get her Rollin and...

That's a cool name for handlebars. I'm from the 70s too. Those Dolly Parton bars are cool as well. Could be double humped mustache bars.. 🤔

Agreed, mee too. Want to try them out and see how they ride. I asked Juan yesterday if they have a name again, or if he knows the origins. No response yet. Thinking of matching them up with the flughtliner I will be posting soon.

Not yet. The name and origin is still a mystery.

They look meant for a muscle to me too. Me and my dirty mind thinkin that first pic, showin those sexy curves.... Brazier bars??? 😆 😂 😆 Edit: would fit this build well.

Hmmm. Could be. I've never seen bars like this before so I don't know if a crossbar couldda been there or not. It almost looks like they were drilled sometime along the way. Sharpish edges on them.

These were thrown in as an extra goody. I've no idea on what these are called. IConsidering an MBBO build with them. Almost like a Ramhorn, but they top out like an ape. 10" apes for comparison. Thoughts??

Juan said the horn worked when he got it. Hit the button this afternoon and was pleasantly surprised. Still has batteries that work too...

I think so too. Great for any RRB Build Off. I've been considering it for the Step Thru Buildoff or MBBO. Working on a plan for that.

I've searched around trying to find out what year.this flightliner is and can't seem tof find what year it was in the catalog for #47050. Serial MOD 502 47050 286777 I did find it in parts direct. https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model/519b0x4hul-000934/sears-50247050-cycling-parts But no...

I've seen a sister frame to this built up with an engine that would do 60 miles per hour.

I got these from a good friend who is thinning his collection a little. Three JCHiggins, a shelby and a light alloy 1" boardtrack frame. Haven't gotten too deep into the serials yet This guy has a bomber or klunker in its future. No plans yet for this Shelby. This little old lady needs...
