5 Bar Project

[WetDogGraphix]

I do have some concerns. Someone, who had no idea how to braze, made some crappy repairs. I will take it down to see why. Thankfully, I learned how to braze when I was 7. Parts are headed down to the chrome shop.

And thanks to Reginald for the detailed pattern drawing.

To the blaster tomorrow.

Wheels are ready.....

Wow those are pretty.

Since the pie plate guard is hard to find, does anyone have good pic of the other guard?

Could this be the correct one?

This is the one I had picked up for your bike, but the next owner opted out of buying it. I ended up selling it last year.

I bet it would look great with that McCauley,but not sure I've seen that frame configuration(Hawthorne Twin Bar) with it. Seen them with this one.

Thanks Mike, I won't give up looking. Do you have the other guard?

 

[fordmike65]

One like in the catalog pic? I believe so. I'll let you know.

Any update on your project?? I really love these Hawthorne Twin Bars. Be great to see another one on the road

Nope........As I have told Scott, I'm not sure if I want to do a restore, or do something way oresut there.....I'm stuck! That's why there is no progress...
Any input?

I would do a restore. These are gorgeous bikes in there own right and with the darts you've been given the layout for would be really unique to the frame. For the correct parts your missing out on nice place holders till the correct ones show up.
That's my 2 cents.
