hey guys since I've built one MB and it worked great on some aspects anyway I decided to start on a nice one so her is before and after just took the components I liked from my old one and added them to a new delmar frame I used wheels from a tandom bicycle since its spokes were a lot larger and the same mountain bike front end just painted and a bannana seat and handle bars and goose neck from a amc girls stingray lkooking bike. what do ya'll think so far engine is drying right now it painted black and read also with a copper painted carb more pics as soon as I get more done. first is the old MB I built last month the red one is the delmar i built this weekend with some of the parts I had.

Got to ride it finally today got plenty of room now with that long seat. I built an automatic chain adjuster but I need to find a spring to keep tension on it i"ve got it held with tie wire for now. This one is alot smoother with the 2.25 tires instead of 1 3/8. it rides very nice but i need to add more foam to the seat and recover again. I may put a back pillion pillow on the sissy bar too it makes a great back rest.

With that heavy of a sissy bar you could fab up a spring suspension for the seat.
