| |  MotoSchwinn II debut (before and after)
It's 96% done! And it thrills me to no end that my bike debuts HERE on this site!
In a nutshell my old suburban was getting beat up and beating me up too. The lack of any suspension was taking a toll on the bike, and my uhhh meat and potatoes so to speak. The front rim had several dents in it, braking was like taking a pulse... The skinny tires would blow out all the time.. I needed a new bike... So here is MotoSchwinn II. Sorry that the photo's aren't any better, I need a new digital. Anyway what do ya think?
Photo number one is before, and photo number two is 30 minutes old. MotoSchwinn II has more refinements coming, but here's a sneak peek... Paint isn't quite right on the tank, and some other little upgrades are needed/ordered and coming. Have to get a speedo, lights, and bags. BTW that Kings motor already has over 3000 miles on it and is still pulling strong.
HOPEFULLY it will start tomorrow!!!

Thanks everybody! I pulled the tank off again, yeah I'm going to try another color of paint. I think it's nearly a match. It needs more metal flake, but it's really close. Regardless, if it's not a match... I'm sticking with it.
It's time to ride.

Nice bike!! It looks just like my production bikes!
It works really well if you put the twist shifter for the gears on the other side of the handle bars! (I do it on all my bikes) |

Motoschwinn II Update, she started up and feels so much different than the old bike. Seat needs adjusted and the handlebars too. I'm going to do really short rides until everything settles in. Thanks for the support and the comments guys!
