1964 Schwinn Motored bicycle

The Titletown Flyer is pretty much complete. The only reason I say pretty much is because most of my creations evolve as time passes. Im going to still modify the seat post to set it back farther on the bike. I find that when Im riding I have a tendancy to sit on the back of the seat. So it will...

I fabricated a quick and elegant bracket to mount the headlight. I'm like the way it looks, buts its very easy to take off if I wanted to.

I did notice that on a lot of motored bikes. I was trying to picture the forces at play. Unfortunately the way I cut the fender the chain only goes this way. Since I had already cut it I decided to just try it. I will most likely change it around though.

Thi is where it all started for this build. :)

I got the number plates fabricated, painted and mounted. The vinyl letters and numbers should be done in a few days. I went with a gold machine turned finish with black borders. This build is quickly coming to completion. One big hing I can't decide on is whether or not to put the head light I...

Thank you both for the info

I finally got the front whelk back with the disc hub. Turned out really nice. The mounts for the caliper took some modifications to get everything smooth. Another overall shot with the new wheel and front brake

Thanks man, that sucks about not being able to have one. I appreciate the comment.

I finishwd up my gas cap with the curly que breather.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. In the next week or so I should be getting the front wheel on and install the disc brake on the front. Im also going to get some vinyl letterng made and number plates fabricated.

Thanks got it fixed

Took some beauty Shots today in the front yard. I've been taking her around town doing some errands. When I'm parked people really are enjoying it and so am I. I was having just a tiny bit of gas leaking out of the lines, so I used copper wire to try and solve the problem. Glad the...

It's alive!!!! Just took it out for its first miles under power yesterday. Not very comfortable but it sure looks cool. Didn't make it for comfort anyway. Turns a lot of heads and gets lots of smiles.

Re: 50's Schwinn Rat-Rod Boardtracker Love your build, it's freaking awesome. Just got my first build running today. Went with a motor kit for my first try.
