Schwinn Stinray Chopper

[Gary Brousseau]

Hey guy's. Just finished up this Stingray Chopper. This thing was a rust bucket and was able to use most of the original parts from the bike. Stripped to metal and had everything bead blasted. Painted the frame in pearl white and all the black is pearl black. Installed a set of ape hangers and a new longer brake cable and a rear tube, but most everything else is original. Also took the seat to my upholstery shop and they re-covered the seat with leather. Took it out for cruise this weekend. First time it has been on the road in years. Hope you like it.

Really clean & classy. Congratulations on a job well done!

Will be having my pin stripper do blue and black pin stripes all over the bike next month. Will upload further photos when completed......

The white chain looks cool with the white bike

That makes that bike look so much better.

My son's been riding it around and love's it. The looks that he gets riding it is great

Nice clean bike; better than factory! The black and white color theme gives it the POP, the black wheels and tires gives it the coolness factor - well done!

If you dont mind me asking, Ive been thinking of having a seat of mine reupholstered, do you recall what they charged you for the job?

 

[Gary Brousseau]

They charged me $20.00 but I supplied the leather from an Infiniti car that I worked on. Normally might be around $50.00 to $75.00 in leather
