Hi All,
I just purchased a vintage Roadmaster tank bike, but I'm not sure what it is. It's been restored, but I will do it over. Several things confuse me as I can't find this bike anywhere else. It has a springer front, the Luxury liner style headlight (missing), a horn tank with horizontal ribs (painted over chrome), chome fenders (painted over), an unusual short rear rack, rear crash bars, and a narrow chain guard (painted over. The previous "restorer"also painted over all chome parts (handle bars, springer front, rear crash bars, etc) with argent paint. I thought this was to hide severe rust, but the chrome underneath is perfect???
Anyway, I would love to know what I have. My intent was to covert it to a luxury liner s I love the shiny chrome look, but I might restore it originaly if it turns out to be worth it. I've seen some Pleasure Liners that share some of these features - but not all. The paint jobs are pretty cool, but did AMF paint over the chome fenders, tanks and chain-guard?
thanks,
~Gary
