Thought I'd post this here. I believe the bike is sufficiently "ratted" now to post. This is my Electra Tigershark that I bought in December '12
I started with the decal on the rear fender actually. This is the 3rd one I've applied. This time I clear coated over the darn thing so it should stay on! It's an insignia of the 3rd pursuit squad or "Hells Angels" that the flying tigers used which is the theme of the bike. It has a Brooks Flyer saddle and Brooks plump grips. Specialized MTB riser bar and P series front load stem. I used an Origin8 1 to 1 1/8 conversion quill to fit that. I had the 3 inch rear and 2.5 front wheel built by Choppers US using Shimano Nexus 3 speed rear hub. The tires are 3 inch Electra Fatti-Os. I had to put in a 127mm/68 bottom bracket to get the chain to clear the rear tire, so while I had that apart I also installed the Origin8/Lassco (rebrand) crank. Crank Bros 50/50 2s for pedals and Electra rocket valve stem covers. The bag is a Condor MOLLE2 gadget pouch and the rear light is Planet Bikes.
This was pretty new. No real mods. My ladie's Betty in the background.
This is what it looks like today:
