Hi all.

Have always been a fan of choppers and cruisers, but never got aroud to getting one until recently.

I picked up a Jesse James WCC on Craigslist, and made some changes to personalize it.

This was the bike when I picked it up.

And the bike after some small changes.

I removed the tank and chain guard, swapped out the front wheel to a 24", installed longer handle bars and skull end grips. Looking to swap out the seat next.

Hey Mike, hello and welcome to RatRodBikes!
Believe it or not, I was just lookin’ at the W.C.C. in my livingroom and wondering about how it would look with a few mods. . . like a taller, narrower front wheel. Incredible how much that simple change improves the look of it! 8)

thanks!

yah, im kinda thinking i should have gone with a 26" wheel and tire now, but i like the subtlety of the 24...
