OK,sometimes it's great to carefully select parts for your build,carefully gather the parts,assemble them gently over a LONG time...And sometimes it's fun to pull out your wallet and buy one completely done!!! Ahhhh,I love this bike....

Now, I want to be curtiqued,I want to know what should be changed to make it period correct
I have a straight post for it,as well as a brown suede Unimax that will be going on ASAP. I'm on the fence about the front brakes too,just doesn't look right to me...

Thanks Yasser! They are buring me with the thing! I'll be in a hard airport bike case in the ground with my OM!

Joe, that is a really nice OM. I'm going to go out on a limb here, and risk being shot, but I think those bars look good on there.
I prefer the look of the wide low Prodyne/Kos/GT cruiser handlebars on 26 wheelers.
That sure is nice in Baby Blue

Thanks Mcam! I'm still shocked that it's the original finish..I was on the fence about the bars,but of course I've already ran out and bought some SE cruiser bars for it! I'm such a follower! What does everyone think of these going brown powder to match the forks? I think that may look trick..Thanks for the bars Jon!

What kind of bars are they on there at the moment? Are those Prodynes?

OK I am a newbiee to this but I would re-chrome the bars. IMO to much color drownes out a bike. But it is a awesome bike to begin with. Maybee some day..............
