The box is cool as but if the bike were mine I'd leave it off and keep it for one that had a delivery theme goin on

Looks awesome so far brother!
Quick question, have you tried the rear wheel yet?
I'm planning to run 26x2.35 tires on my Higgins resto-mod too and hoping there won't be fender issues. Looks like the front will be fine.

Keep going, your bike looks great.!

I did a trial fit before I painted the rims and things seemed to work OK. The rims are from Electra Bicycles and only about 1-3/8" wide, so the inflated tires don't get too wide, right at 2.35". Thanks for looking.

The battery holder blends in well.
Cool trunk. Are you gonna paint the bottom white like the tank?

Not sure about using it, don't think I want to add paint to it. If it were to be used it probably would look best if the tank finish were repeated.

I wonder how the fork doodads would look painted with the tan color?

Painted one paprika and one khaki. Will do a test install to see if either works, could always go back to black.

I put the scrollwork doodads back on for a visual test. I think both look better than black and one of these better than the other.

I am totally stealing that tank idea some day...

Glad you're the one who has to pick the colour choice for you're doodads!
Looking real cool.

Think I'm leaning towards the khaki, my wife said paprika though.

 

[dracothered]

I say the khaki also because the paprika is just a little off on going with the forks red.

 

[Bike Bum]

I'd go with the khaki too. It pops more being a different color than the forks. I just think with the forks being red and the doodad thingy being red, it just loses something.

Wow, so much cool stuff going on here. AM I too late to vote on headers? 2 then 3.

 

[raggedjim]

Surprise! Your wife is right! Khaki is the way to go...

Great job so far. Is the trunk made for bikes? I've never seen one. Rg

Hey thanks. Not to late, it's all fluid, nothing final. I kinda like #2 but I bought the els and feel like I should use them. The number 2 pipes are from scrap I had. Number one hides a couple of drill nicks.

Thanks. Yes the trunk is made for bikes. Someone had made a posting here with the web site. I got mine at a bike shop in KC, MO.

Cool but pricey... http://www.stonecoldoutdoor.com/catalog.php?cat_ref=6

Locojoe had made this post a while back. The link is for the trunk company. I notice they have raised the price quite a bit.

 

[MazdaFlyer]

Not much luck with the chain

Received my pin-striping stencil tape today. Anxious to see if I can get it to curve around a fender profile.

The cool thing about this stuff is all the different patterns available and the ability to do multiple colors.

 

[raggedjim]

Hope it works out for you. I have trouble laying a straight line, let alone a curved one!
