“Black & Blue” My 2nd bike

She started life as a pampered Raleigh Retro Glide 7 that was an elderly gentleman’s exercise bike that I found on Craigslist when he passed away.

I cannibalized the engine from my first bike and slowly started adding upgrades. Some of the most notable are-

Spooky tooth – 67cc engine - CNS carburetor
Sick Bike Parts - shift kit – expansion chamber exhaust- dual brake levers – rear kick stand – frame mount
Maniac Mechanic – clutch actuator
Gas Bike – slant head
Norm’s Lights – Headlight
eBay- Pagsta Mini Chopper Tank

Black & Blue 1
Black & Blue 2
Black & Blue 3

I have a few things still to do but I figured she was far enough along to show.

Yeah, is pretty wide. I little smaller would be perfect... but what the heck, it was here and the original tank had a broken petcock. I still think it looks nicer than the stock tank.

Nice build, just an FYI on your Shift Kit installation. You have mounted your chainrings incorrectly. The large chainring should go outside of the freewheel flange.

Ghost0- can you post a picture or diagram of what it should be like? I haven't touched the bike for a while and with out it in front of me, I'm not sure mean. Thanks
