Ah. There is the confusion. Electra is a Bicycle Manufacturer. All of the bikes in the thread were bought very much as you see them in the photos.

It appears it was my confusion. 
my apologies. I did not notice the big "Electra" on the chain guard.

Made some changes to my bikes today: rotated the stem on my Ghostrider 180º, so the handlebars are a bit closer towards myself. Had a carcrash about 10 years ago, and am still having necktroubles from my whiplash from time to time. This bike is simply a little too long for my 6' and was killing my neck after longer rides, but I like these handlebars, and apes would make it even worse. Sorted !
Next I added some parts to my Electra Ratrod by swapping some stuff from my Velor: headlight, beelights, dingdong bell, and seat.
Looks a lot more colourfull this way, some shiny summer blingbling 8) but see for yourself if you like it:
Three of a perfect pair:
I should give them a good spring clean now, but I'm out of time. Duty calls !

That is VERY nice.
Swapped out the apes on mine. Going for a drag-style cruiser.
My new bike. It's a family ride so I'm still to add a rack and some lights but other than that I'm not planning to change too much. I say that now, but watch this space.
here's my buildup, based on a 2002 deluxe (yes, casey wells and me are "close friends" :lol: :wink: ):

Its a universal light that they mostly use on a honda monkey/dax/pbr. You do need to change the light bolb to 6v.

Finished my Revil.
I call it Witch Hunter
I stripped the frame bare and clear-coated it. The seat post was too high for my liking so I remedied that with a Dremel.
Seat from a Giant cruiser. Matched perfectly with Electra Townie grips.
Bent springer front end off a lowrider.
Drag-style handlebar is a straight piece of pipe from a hardware store.
Taped off each spoke and painted the rims red.
Hand painted whitewalls with Acrylic paint. Not the best stuff to use. I'm gonna spring for proper whitewall paint soon.
