Ive been playing with the "look" of my bike. Heres the Crusier style. My back doesnt like the boardtrack version. Still more to do but you get the idea. Im waiting for vintage style grips to complete it.

That is a beautiful bike...I agree, lose the sticker. A set of those Monarch forks on her would really finish that ride off!!!

Its going to be a Sportscarpat / Pirate cycles "Kit" bike. You can pretty much take it any direction or style you want. I had a Indian Motorcycle many years ago and kinda wanted another one. Its a workmans frame modified by Pat. Modified Seat Post, frame chain tightener for motor plus all tabs removed. Sportcarpat tank and fake oil tank. Also has modified chain sprocket etc. Im not sure but i think a complete kit will be available with Pirate cycles.
I see Sportscarpat has those forks beefed up. I didnt like the chinese cheapos out there. Decal will be off soon i agree yuck!!
I got a set of those forks from Venice MotorBkies, before he was having SportsCarPat beef em up, Im sending them off this week to have them re-worked.I still put them on when I stripped the bike for paint to see how they looked...man what a difference compared to the stock. Planning to go with a Pirates balanced Motor, last I knew Manic was still working on them.

Beautiful Vintage Style Cruiser!!!!
SportscarPat is an Artist and his work speaks for itself, words cannot express this work of Art!
72tx340,
I really appreciate your build and the fact that you identified it as a Vintage Style Cruiser, it has that period correct look of a Vintage Road Style Cruiser!

CrazyHorse ive watched your builds closely and used some for inspiration. Your words mean a lot this is my first build and hope to do another someday! With the help of many here Justin and Pat to name a few, shows what can happen with a newbie. This build came together in just a few months. I asked a lot of newbie questions and not one of you guys made fun of me. Again THANKS EVERYONE!!

Cool build. I think a cruiser is a nice direction to take this and more people should build them. I was also surprised to see how fast you got it up and running. Good job. The Monarks would be an excellent choice for this build or any other. I have forks and I repair forks. Venice has forks, too. Thanks to everyone for running my parts. Kits? You bet. Tanks? I got 'em. Modified frames? You'll see them soon enough.

Dang! All that, and a carbide lamp too. You're going to have one awesome ride there. Caveat: I used to play with carbide when I was younger, and I lived. Have you given thought to converting the lamp to electric? Just checkin'.
