STBO Fashionably Late. (Temp. Name for now).

Yes it does. Unfortunately I'm may not be using it on this build. The hub it works on is a bit more expensive then I have budgeted for this build. If I had one already on hand I would use it. The local bike shop owner is going to let me go digging around in one of his pole barns full with 45 years worth of parts hoarding to see if I can find one. He thinks he has a few in there, so ill find out this weekend. If I do use it, I've got a couple ideas for the rear brake. Most likely put it down where the kickstand mounts. Haven't quite worked that out yet.

The bottom guard matches the saddle condition nicely, but I prefer the lines of the black Columbia. It suits the front end

Decided since I'm covering the fenders with leather I'd, 1, not cover up nice chrome fenders.
2, I like the look of this style of peaked fenders better.

I think the lines work better.

So, black leather covered fenders, chain gaurd. Possibly the tank. The seat with short fringe around the bottom. Leather wrapped grips with fringe. Chrome fender braces. Dark Metalic red paint.
And now I'm second guessing the bars. Feel to large now. I'll dig out a few others and see.

Found some bars I like better then the wide apes. Pulled these of of a 2 person side by side Worksman Trike. Exactly the same height as the others, but narrower and straight up and down instead of the bent back a bit bars of the others. Painted over the black with aluminum paint. Would have been nice if chrome, but got them for free. After putting them on and snapping the 1st picture. Didn't like the empty space between the top of the forks and the bars in front of them. Easy fix. Flipped the headlight and bracket over. Very happy with them. Like the narrower lines.

After that, started on wrapping the rear fender. Went with marine grade vinyl instead of leather. So far its going well.

Ended up using leather instead of the vinyl on one side off the tank so far. The gutter around the outside edge was what was having me think it wouldn't work out for this tank. When I came across this red twisted cording. Sits nicely in the gutter and covers the edge of the leather nicely.

Other half of tank is up next.

Those bars are wild!
