My First Build Complete (well almost)

[Frankenstein777]

Started with a stock Cranbrook Huffy from Wal-Mart. Flipped the bars, customized the seat linkage to fit on the nose of the seat and re-wrapped it in marine fabric. Tried fitting a shorty fender on the back but decided to scrap it to fit the back brake. Hated the stock tank and searched eBay FOREVER, then finally found a 1980's Garelli tank. Blasted the old paint off and re-painted it with high gloss ceramic engine enamel. I would like to shorten the cables and hide the wiring and maybe find a nice springer fork. Anyways, sorry for rambling! Had fun on this build, cant wait for more! Hope everyone enjoys. Learn a lot from this site. Thanks!

Good call on the Garelli tank. You were very resourceful with that Cranny.

Nice work, I have a similar tank and frame.

I have a huffy cranbrook as well, and I also repainted and added a 2 gallon Yamaha plastic tank.
