    Updated my Rail

    Early 1967 Rail. I wanted to be able to comfortably ride it being as I'm a bit taller than when I was 12. Added new apes, new sissy bar, new seat. Collectors, don't panic. All the OG parts are safely put away.

    Mount spaceliner tank

    I have the straight tank model. At the rear of the tank, welded to the frame, is a steel tab that looks just like an automotive front end alignment shim, just narrower and thinner. The pronged end faces forward and slides into a corresponding slot in the rear of the tank.

    Degreasing Parts

    Automotive brake cleaner, toss the parts in a plastic container or jar, cover the parts, let soak for about 10 minutes, parts look brand new and totally clean when done. And the cleaner can be re-used until it's become saturated.

    show your Spaceliners!!

    I got real lucky with this one. It came up for sale at the best price I've ever seen on a totally complete and original one. The only new chrome is the bars, which I changed because I like them better than the originals, and I removed the rack because it flows better to me without it. The...

    This one had 26 x 1.75's on it when I got it. Now running Quick Brick 26 x 2.125.

    No tire rub, but had to very painstakingly fit everything to clear. I've fit a lot of these older bikes that came with 1.75 tires with 2.125's, and you've just got to make sure everything lines up, wheels must be round AND true. I also hang it it my stand it a way that helps with each tire/wheel...
