my fresh find update. Updated again 9/11/2010

[Big Fat Whitewalls]

I bought this last weekend for $40.00. I had already ordered a 26" springer before I even found this bike. I removed the fenders, changed the pedals, added the Apes, and the springer. I like the way it turned out. Dean

Re: my fresh find update.

I haven't liked this bike since I bought it. Right after I bought it, I made some changes to it, but still didn't like it. So after sitting and collecting dust for over a year, I decided to up the coolness factor. I hated the tires, so off with the whitewalls, and on went big and little black walls. Next up I disassembled the springer, and bent the legs, then shortened the outer legs to fit. I also changed the big butt girls seat for one that's a little more streamlined. After the pictures where taken I changed the grips to some plain old style black ones, it had foam grips. I had to shorten the kickstand too. I resisted the temptation to flip the bars over boardtrack style, I like them this way. Now I like it. I was undecided on leaving the decals, or removing them. I decided to leave them, as I do like them. Enjoy, Dean

WOW, looks A LOT better, I wonder if I could get decals like those for my Huffy Santa Fe rat. Only I'm keeping my whitewalls, painted the rims red, and painted the frame and fork flat rat black

wow! that's a totally different bike you got there compared to what it used to be... It's a hotrod now! Nice to see chrome, blackwals, and shiny paint! Didn't know that could be done to a springer. The bend is perfect.
