had a good idea today, I had to sacrifice my front suspension though, who needs suspension anyway.
got rid of the spring and added some zing
i usually don't like using any aluminum(billet) but i liked the length and drop of this old ten speed stem, we'll see, it might stay
i might stick with these bull horns, maybe cut em down a few

This bike just might blow up the competition! Way to ues your noggen!
hey, thanks guys. good to hear all that after battling with that bike all day, i found out that the back wheel brackets are bent to heck( maybe hit by a car?), and spent hours tryin to straighten them out. scratched the crap outta my frame in the process. frustrating stuff, let me tell ya.
Does anyone have a secret way to straighten those back brackets? it is a pain in the a-hole!!

I had the same problem with my spaceliner, i took the whole bike apart and put them in the vise and tightend it up, it took care of the problem for me... If u dont got a vise i dunno what u could do...
The fork is killer! And the paintjob...wow!
lookin good!!
found another free donor, and took the fender:
i not going to save the chrome
i think i saw someone talking about the weak brackets on those huffys, is this what you were talkin about?
deglossed the chrome then i hosed it down with some flat black
taped it up and went with some more of the satin paprika

the old mounts needed a change so i put them on the inside with these spikes as the new holding screws:
is was not fun, i had to try and drill the broken center bracket out to accomodate a new mounting screw and it exploded on me. i had to hammer it back into shape and then use a backing plate for some rigidity.
finally got it to work, only my rear wheel needs to be trued, it rubs. man, it's a tight fit.

I absolutly love it ,great fender conversion!
do you think you will divide the 2 colors with a white
pinned line to match the frame????
schweet job Yustin!!!!

hey thanks guys.
you know kev, I was just debating that issue all day. i'm kinda stuck with the two tone with no stripe but now i'm thinking yes, it would match better. I don't know, we'll see.
Very Cool!!! Love the spikes!!!
It'll look good either way..
That will be one heck of a long line to pull..
all be it ,the Fender edge is a nice Guide for the Pinkie Finger to
Guide / Slide on when your pullin it!
The Color Combo Black and Paprika on the bike is stunning!!!!
