Nice find! Are the forks bent or is it me?

 

[Gebolys77]

I don't think thay are?

 

[aka_locojoe]

Cool bike. Forks look a little bent back to me.

 

[Gebolys77]

Yea I see what you mean after looking at my other bike

 

[ozzynut2]

Yes they are bent a little. I just had a set of stingray forks bent back with a press. If you know someone with a press have them put a block of wood under the steer tube and a block of wood under the fork legs and have it pressed at the fork crown. It will bend right back where you want it to. Dont over press it though.

I have been try to clean this one up by wipeing it down with wd40 and it's bringing the red or burgany color out and I thought that this one would look cool with a beaver skin seat too I cut the seat post tube so the seat would lay on the frame too haven't got to the fork yet not too sure if thats somthing I really whant too mess with it a rat any way

And I had this old 54 plate laying around and thought it would look good on thare too

This is the bike that I first wanted to skin the seat in beaver fur but never got a round to do It. I picked it up from a car shop for five bucks and to top it off thay had even taken the badge off of it and gave it to me when I gave him the money

And I added some tires to this one too

Great old bikes. I like the old license plate. And I like the beaver skin.....but think it may be to hot in nice weather.

 

[Gebolys77]

It might be ? All I know is i should allways have a dry seat.

 

[outskirtscustoms]

That seat is awesome.
