Sears J.C. Higgins Information

RE: J.C. Higgins Bike

Squiggy. I think I have the same bike as you. Did you get the headlight lenses made? How did they turn out? I'm looking for lenses...and the battery housing...and the switch...and the chain guard. I'm very knew to vintage bikes so searching for parts has definitely been a challenge.

If anyone can offer up any advice I would really appreciate it.

Here are some pics of my ride.

Thanks
