Finally riding a big boys bike
I picked up this 1939 Schwinn Motorbike a while back from another cabe member :) it was restored about 10 years ago by Bob U. I finally got it together and am working on the wiring.

Very nice bike, Bob U. does some nice work. He did some work for me about 15 years ago. You know what I like about your bike, it's restored but it doesn't look over restored. Enjoy it.
 
nice...

The tank is actually built for a streamliner....minor detail but no one is complaining....no one is that perfect......its still bad to the bone...

Hi. The tank is actually built for this bike. It's a steel motorbike hanging tank with the holes for wires and button. The bike was restored by Bob U. I'm pretty sure it is all correct including the tank.
:) I am no expert though.
What makes you think it is a streamliner tank? Just wondering do you have a picture of that tank?
 
Ahhhhh. there is those lights again....I need a set of those.
Killer bike!!!!

Streamliner models of the prewar era had unique paint pattern....and I noticed in one advertisement that the first tank strap sat back farther away from the dart to avoid resting on it to protect the accent....just an observation....sSchwinn did weird schtuff.....which I love
