78' Spitfire Thread

[EagleESi]

This is my Sig thread for my 1978 Chicago Built Schwinn Spitfire.
The photos are In Time order from when I first got it to the last oen I ve taken.

The back fender is not really how I like it, I need to bend and maybe get some extra support so it does not rattle all around.

That newer blue springer looks good. Try bobbing the fender.

I actually have, the end would have gone down alot more, Soem would say cut it more, but everyone does that!

Me, I am kinda different and weird. But Today I finished the rough Setup on the rear fender including the much needed tail light cause living in Florida, and in the dark, you kinda need them for these drivers!

I am finding just random stuff that fits, which is quite cool how a pile of junk can be used into stuff like this!

Nice bike. I really like the looks of it fenderless.

yeah, id have to agree, fenderless would look cleaner, or buy a pair of fatty full on chrome fenders and jack up the chrome factor. personally for me, fenders are a pair or nothing thing unless i'm going for a drag or gasser look. i'm just saying. still think that is a nice ride.

Yeah, there is a apart of me thinking of keeping it fenderless. But I am just going to give it time see How I feel about it. I haven't had the chance to even ride it at all cause of the weather.
