I took it all apart , it had its original wheels and hubs they cleaned up great ! I found a NOS wald 24" bike which makes a 20" bike much easier to pedal , I first did a mock up on it ,, I had a springer solo polo for it and I had a taller axle mount sissy bar made ,,, it was missing a k9ckstand I had an Nos kickstand ,,,

I then took the bike apart I sourced new decals had paint mixed to make the cool green color these came with I found a picture of an original bike and matched the color , I rebuilt both wheels was able to save the original hubs spokes and rims , I got brand new tires and tubes for it ,,

I then sat and cleaned and polished every part that could be saved , I was not able to save the original sprocket so I found a nice original , new high chrome handlebars , all new decals it came together great I think ,,,

I do bodywork on cars so I cleaned the frame fork and chainguard primed it with 2K urethane

She's a beauty, nice save! The paint came out great, just a sweet bike. Who made your sissy bar? It works really well.
