I bought a Stingray Schwinn Fatboy bicycle and I am fixing it up. I am having trouble finding items for the bike. I need a new seat and a kick stand for my bike. If someone could direct me to a website where I can purchase these items that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Need help finding accessories

Welcome to the forum. I'm not sure if you are talking about the new chopper stingray or the 1970's style. First place I would look for those parts is craigslist (phoenix.craigslist.com). Sometimes they advertise bicycle swap meets where you can find used parts for your ray.
Thank you I found it at a garage sale and I'm not sure which bike I do have. How can you tell the difference between the new and the old style bike?
The new style Stingray is in this post. Some of the bikes like this were just called OCC Choppers.

I was gonna suggest looking under the bottom bracket shell for the serial number and googling it. Then saw this and it says the S/N for older ones are on the steering tube.

They are cool looking bikes.

Ok so I found a number under the bike. It reads s/n GND05E10130 . Does this mean it was made in 05 in May? I am just not finding answers out. Thank you for all of your help. O and I can't find a number on the steering rod.
I got July '05 with the "G"
The serial number would only be in one place, so you have found it.
Would take it to a local bike shop. See what they have on hand.
