Default My 1st Build "The Bombay Cruiser"

I just got finished with the major work
on my 1st MotorBike project.
I disassembled, inspected and painted the
BGF motor. I added the Pyramid Springer,
and the rack for the fuel tank.
I'm thinking of using a Harley oil tank
for a fuel cell and mounting it under the rack
behind the seatpost. I still have some detail
work to do, as well as the maiden voyage.

Is that a drum brake on the front?
If so, where did you get it?
Nice Bike, the white tires are a good choice.
I picked up a set of Apes' that match the rims
still debating on using them or not.
I'm thinking about an Indian Head for the front fender ?

I built a new front wheel using a Sturmey Archer X-FD drum brake.You can get it with a dyno also.The tires are almost too white sorta blue white.A cream color I think might look better.Ron

Two very nice bikes, great job guys. I also find it interesting that you both chose the same color scheme, I really dig the black and red hot rod look. Nice work to both of you, enjoy the ride...Kelly
