Wow, not sure how they fit a non springer fender/braces on there?

Just thought I'd throw this out there, looking for the rest of this bike 53 JCH header tank bike, original paint maroon & gold, rack & guard reversed gold & maroon and chrome fenders. I had the tank for 30+ yrs and last pic is what it looked like. View attachment 1156107

I have the chain guard in green and a set of fender struts in white used condition

Sorry, as said looking for original paint 53 Maroon & Gold!

If you ever get tired of looking for a nice one, I have this one. It has a crank rub on the left chain stay and a slight tweak in front of the rear axle, same side. Paint has scratches.

Ok, it's a start, got a correct OG 53 frame, colors have faded a little different than the tank but have to get out the rubbing compound, still like to find a complete maroon/gold 53 or parts like a maroon with red tip sringer, gold guard with a maroon stripe and a gold/maroon rack with the shorter ( 53 & later ) front mount. Time to dig in my parts pile and put a rider together.
