Alright., since I too somehow missed this thread., Heres my StratoFlyer, Finally finished. Rear Hub Caps, creme backed 8ball valve caps and matching steering wheel Ball, for single hand turns. I LOVE the way my new Kenda Tires fit. They look just right.

I also found a workable substitute for the Rack Light!

I guess its a turn signal or brake light optional.
It has a still and blinkable option I havent yet tapped into.
Im not sure what voltage it is, the packaging was extremely generic., but it was a good value for a bike light.

Under Mounts, it had two stem bolts so I used them with a coffee lid I rusted just for the sake of being unsafe to assemble I guess as the backing. Its a FIRM hold., but Im considering padding between the light and rack on top a little, just so it looks a little more snug, as apposed to sitting on top.

I dont think I ever bothered to notice before., is your variation a complete metal tank, bezel and all? Mine has a plastic bezel and its peeling pretty hard.

Well, in order to lose something, you have to own it in the first place. It came like this. I picked it up last spring and finally got around to seeing if I can disassemble it. I found the #s; it's a 1966. I'm thinking of using it for BO10.

My '59 WF. Still kind of original...;-)

Thats cool how you've mounted the tank. Is it the original tank from the bike just turned over and set back?

[blwnmny]

Got them about 2 years ago on Feebay, never had a use for them until this one came along. I hoped they would find a home.LOL!

I found this 1947 Western Flyer Model F2104 at a garage sale quite a few years ago. I added light, streamers, speedometer, Torrington pedals and a rack. I redid the saddle currently on it. Someone before me had cleaned it up and clear coated over what appears to be original paint. Rides good but really heavy.
