These are huffy built for Sears BMA6 so 1971or later what does the correct chainguard look like?

Don't know about the guard but that's a really nice score.

Here's a 5-speed of about the same vintage. I've never known these bikes to wear a chainguard other than the one pictured, but I could be wrong. I gotta wonder how this bike gets the BMA/6 sticker, yet still sports the crotch-busting console shifter.

I stand corrected! Here's a link to the late model Huffy-built bike--the Screamer Gremlin. That's the one you have...no doubt about it.

Guard looks very similar the the "flaming stack" used on other Huffy muscle bikes, but minus the tailpipe section. GOOD LUCK finding two of those.

If you look at the Gremlin frame you can see the steering tube is slightly more raked back. I have seen a custom Gremlin with a Slingshot fork on it. It looked really cool.
Cool Score on both of them together. The guards will pop up. Just have to wait it out and have cash in hand...lol


Couple of parts off this bike might help out.

I hope you have deep pockets!

My buddy went half and half on a muscle bike collection and in it was a girls Sears Gremlin that has the same lime and black seat on the twins. My buddy ended up with this bike and cleaned it up quite a bit. Bought the flaming insert from Crash. Rare bike. Pretty decent condition.

A couple of weeks a boys Sears Gremlin came up for sale. I though it was a pos but someone bid it up to 600.

Parts for these bikes add gonna be hard to find and expensive!

I have faith someone on here has the guards and would sell them at a fair price just because the want to see these bikes as they should be. because we all know it's not always about the money,but the love of the sport.

How is it possible these bikes have identical serial numbers?

 

[deorman]

Probably a batch or model number, I believe the serial would be on or near the rear dropout.

 

[GuitarlCarl]

Looks like a different last digit from this pics...
That or ones a fake.... LOL!

That is the serial number, but for Sears bikes it corresponds with the model. Look at this page:

http://murrayeliminatormusclebikes.yuku.com/topic/75/Sears-badged-Murray-bikes#.V1ocpvkrKM8

The 47678 is the catalog number. The 507 is Sears model number from Huffy I believe. Maybe the Murray model numbers were the 502 models? MurrayEliminator on the forum will know more.
