BK, thats very cool of you, and while the frames are similar, I have an emotional attachment to the big rear Screamers.
Im only 5' 5" so its no problem for me to ride a 20" muscle bike. Having said that, Ive owned 3 Screamers and while I could fit them with no problem I find that the ride is TERRIBLE. The feel of the butterfly bars with the 16" front wheel just made the ride very awkward and uncomfortable for me. Just my 2 cents, dont let it discourage you from getting one especially if it will bring back fond childhood memories for you.

Okay guys, I have decided that I want to relive some of my childhood and get a Screamer to customize and ride.
Does anyone have one they want to part with? I am not looking for a showpiece, so most any condition would be considered. I have a lot of cool stuff to trades or straight purchase would work too. Shoot me a PM of what you have.

I will check with my guy in Alabama he may have one tucked away he has a barn full of vintage an antique bikes I will give him a call in the morning. I'm releived after I made the offer I was thinking what are you thinking thats your build off bike for this years build off.
Thanks buddy! I definitely wouldn't want to steal your BO8 bike!
I bought a 20" Spyder without knowing if I would really be able to ride it at all. I gave it 24" ape hangers, a 18" banana seat with a 36" sissy bar. Then I bought "highway pegs" but turned out I couldn't even reach them (I'm 5'11). I can't wait to ride it this summer and could care less what I look like! DOOOOO EEEET!

Well,heres my solution.I fit a whole lot better on this one and I used parts just laying in my basement.My girlfriend says the Esso tiger grips should go but I've liked them since '65 and they're staying.I'm gonna see if the stock front fender will fit on the rear when rotated about 90 deg. and I might lose the whitewalls,I was never a big fan of them but they keep finding me
Cool bike. I know I could build a 26" Stingray style muscle bike, but I was and still am a bigger fan of the different muscle bile frames like the Screamers and Eliminators.
Just to echo what has been said before. The longer muscle bikes fit adults fairly well and if you are a shorter adult they fit great. I am 5'8" and have Murray made Hiawatha Cycovator, basically it is an Eliminator. As it sits in the picture I can ride it very comfortably and it is actually to long for my 5'6" wife.
Thanks buddy.
Never heard of the Cycovators before. That is a pretty cool bike name .
