So I'm starting with a bike just like this one. I will be losing the rear rack for now and eventually making a new sturdy one for it that can be used to haul minor amounts of cargo.

The plan is to redo the fender supports in such a way as to hopefully prevent any failures while staying true to the old school feel of the bike.

Currently the bike is torn down and being sandblasted as I'm repainting it to a metallic red with a white stripe down the fenders. Kinda going for a hot rod look.

I ordered the 5G engine kit from bike berry and will try to take plenty of good photos of it before its all assembled so people have so references as some of the exact specs of its parts seem to be unknown such as which shaft type it has.

Plans for today are build the new supports for the fenders and finish sand blasting if I have time.

First of all,,, nice bike for a build and best wishes on the entire process!

On the rack subject.... If you dont plan to put very heavy loads on the rack like maybe 20lbs or less, I'm sure the stock rack will do a good job, but if you plan to haul some heavier loads from time to time you might just scrap the stock rack and go for something like this which will take a much heavier load.

Unfortunately the bike is on hold while friend of mine puts the replacement derailer on and sets it up. Then i need to file the new crank gear to match the old one cause its a hair off causing the chain to bind.
