Thanks for the compliments guys. The whole idea for calling this bike The Jackalope was in hopes that someone might see it and think it came from the Huffy factory, or at least "wonder if it is real". Kind of an inside joke for myself. When people look at it I insist that it is real, just very rare and elusive.
How did you do that chain guard? Decal, stencil, label, hand painting....it is an intricate design and so well done I can see why people think it was factory done. For some reason, the lettering reminds me of the Beatles Yellow Submarine album.

The chain guard and fender stripes are vinyl decals. The stripes on the fenders were easy to design but a pain to get straight on a compound curve. It took several attempts to get them right. The chain guard was easy to apply but the design took a little time. The "Lope" is a tribute to deer crossing signs and the John Deere logo. I used a google-font called Bellbottom in an effort to emulate the lettering that was on there before I had it powder coated.
Huffy made so many of these "themed" muscle bikes they are impossible to keep track of. My hope was that The Jackalope would fit right in.
