nice base, watch out for the fender tabs. Take it from someone who know personally, it is not fun unintetionally flying through the air.

I have readjusted the fenders ans tightened att the fender bolts. Hope it helps.
In the mean time I am working on my custom gas tank options.

Keep us updated with some pics. Im curious to see what you do with your cranbrook.

I recomend Re-greasing the front/rear bearings. Walmarts grease it just sloped it there, if ya know what i mean.

Good Luck

OSCS: All theise huffeys seem to be different components. You will need to get a dial cailliper and mesure your bike to be sure. and my down tube was oval not true round!

I will re grease for sure. Seems that King's does not have my engine kit so I will take this opertunity to do biz with Pirate Cycles.

Tank idea. Second attempt, first out of Au. just did not work out. seems I can not solder Au. wrong flux or something. So I am going with steel!

Cap is on as well as the gas line out (no petcock).
