Picked this up tonight on CL and still can't believe how cool and pristine the seat is. I didn't even realize it was a glitter seat until I got there.

Man just throw a set of apes, a laidback post and ride !! :lol:
Id like to see someone convert one of these into a drift trike...
Tank and SR69, you are right, there are some cool parts on this one.
Broke down the bike tonight for parts.
The seat cleaned up even brighter and glittered up than before.
I like the feel of the bars with perfect chrome.
Stem has perfect chrome.
Headbadge came off nicely
Grips are Hunt Wilde and actually are like a pearlescent creme color
Pedals are pretty cool with full wrap rubber and bowed
Perfect chrome seatpost
Nice crank and chainring. The bearing cups didn't have a lip, never saw that before.
Nice french made freewheel came right off the hub
I am hanging onto the front forks and stem. It might make for a cool chopper fork or springer arm.

I still can't get over how sexy this seat is. I may have to take it to work and use it as a paperweight.

cut the front legs off and put swivel wheels on the back ones :mrgreen:kingfish254 said:
just joking .... Sweet seat indeed
I don't think a drift trike with a center of gravity this high would be a good idea. Great fodder for a WATCHISS video though.
Now that we switched from DST, I haven't even been able to check the seat out in the sunlight. Maybe I'll try the seat out on Flexy this weekend.
I just might give it a try.

I had one of those. The seat is very close to what came on spaceliners. The front sprocket is the same as the ones that came on 50s Columbia bikes. Also the metal part that is on the top of where the headset would be ( below the friction adjustment knob) is the same part as used as the top support on columbia springers.
