Here's what I've done so far. The fenders are both made from the formerly rusty and bent rear fender. I was going for a bobber motorcycle look. Needs a springer fork maybe. The pinstripe on the chainguard was just a small experimental leftover from striping a car.
Wanted a ridable bike, so new chain, bearings and tires were first.

Welcome to RRB. Looks like you have a good eye for what works and doesn't work.
 
Thanks! It's time to get serious with the pinstriping now. :)
Oh yeah! That would really look good, just something to add interest and break it up a little...

Taking off the chainguard made the bike look better, so. :cool:. Pinstripes from Pepboys, cost $3.99. :crazy:. Rode this bike a few miles, holy crap, I need to re-learn the the old coaster brake habits of my youth. :)

It's relaxing just to mess around with this bike. Got some new fenders from the local lowrider bike shop. :rockout:

I'm thinking a chrome chain guard and a better spring saddle are next.

:bigboss:Nice build. I like the gen and lights. It gave me a idea of hiding the wiring in the frame. On my next build. Thanks.
