1958 Schwinn Tornado

[marching_out]

Finally got the chance to investigate this pig a little further. Picts below. Rims are original but appear to be repainted. The bars are wide. Haven't checked them to see if they are marked. Two questions. One is about the bolt on kick stand. I have no knowledge regarding these so I don't know if this is original or a replacement. Second, the sissy bar. Anyone know what this is originally off of or was it an after market?

Love the seat and the sissy bar. I have not seen a bar like that maybe some other muscle bike guys might recognize it. The. Lot on kick stand is correct. Late ‘50s Schwinn had a few middleweights that had bolt on instead of the welded S being kick stand.
