Hiawatha Arrow

Funny that this is posted right after " Shelby Find".
Just rode maiden voyage today. Some may recognize this because it was purchased here.
It seems rather complete for the base model. I have a set of wide cross brace bars that I need to rust up.
Question / Opinion- Would it make sense to get a set of repop ram horn bars?
Not holding breath for tank.

They came either way.. depends on your budget. You can get a fiberglass tank.

My observations are that most Arrows did not come equipped with the Airflo bars. I agree with Redline that if you wanted a tank get one of JAF/CO's glass tanks. They are first rate and once painted/distressed look 100%. V/r Shawn

Thanks for the input.
I've seen the bars available for $250. What can I expect to pay for a fiberglass tank? It is the money shot!
Did a little homework, and answered my own question.

The date on the license attached to the head tube is 1943. Can you imagine a kid giving up the tank for the war effort? Crazy by todays standards. The rear rack was also missing when I acquired this.
Something to think about.
