1970 handlebars on a 1967 bike?

I think it is a fake, unless I'm mistaken they are two different bikes the Fleet and Stingray. I have never seen a reference, picture or even a mention of such a bike. Often typhoons and fleets are used to make bikes like stingrays, sometimes claimed to be real and the difference's are few if at all. I think someone applied a stingray decal to the fleet bike there is room to do so on a fleet chainguard. Still a cool bike but not what it claims to be. IMO

Stingray with a tank.. Always wondered why they didn’t
Have them..

I think they were trying to go for the slimmed down race car feel lightweight (haha). I believe some of the crates with springers were quite heavy but cool as hell. A bike not a stingray made to be like one with high rise handlebars and banana seat often referred to as a "pig" bike not sure why.

I liked the Fleet because of the tank. Definitely not a StingRay, but they make a nice Custom rider.
I have 20", 24" and 26" ones - all similarly modified

Need another handlebar like the ones on the 20 & 24 for the 26" one. I'll find one eventually.
Nice riding bikes! These are all original paint bikes, though the reverse paint guard was replaced with a nicer one on the 26"

I'm all over those, I do not like those schwinn handlebars from 66/67 but I have a set because you never know. Awesome bikes

Thanks, it isn't that I dislike the pullback bars - all of these are earlier models and I like the older style bar better - I need to spend some time and find another one in really nice condition. Maybe soon
Thanks for looking and for you comments.
