This started as a Huffy Cranbrook I painted it with rino liner found a springer fork.
It has a 24x3.0 rear and 27x700 front, added a 22in. banana seat 42in sissybar and a set of 4ft. ape hangers.
It is one of the most cofortible bike I own. Since the pics I have added a chaingaurd and will be adding a pavement drager rear fender.
I love it but found my build skills need some work. But learning is half the fun
I call it RATTASTIC
 
Looks awesome, Just a tip... If you flip the seat clamping "guts" around 180 degrees you can move the seat back an inch or two and give the sissy bar a bit more backward rake. Kinda helps the flow of the bike and gives you a bit more room to stretch out. I used this trick on my low rider to gain an extra inch or so of space and it made a huge difference.

Notice my seat's clamping bolt is behind the seat post where yours is in front... Gains an inch or two :wink:
