I don't know if this bike belongs in this topic but I added the original 20in Springer and a custom-made some handlebars which are cut down shorter and made them look like the big Cruiser bars what do you guys think?

 

[KLUNKER 5]

Picked up this little gem. 100% original and completely flawless. Estate sale find. Was told the owner got bike for Xmas in 79-80 and didn’t like it so it sat in a closet in his parents house for 38 years. I just dusted it off.

working on the black 79 Spitfire 5 today (the Positron is different than anything I have worked on!), now I got 4 Spit5's and keeping the 2 on the left, the faded red one and another nice red one that still buried in the garage are going to go down the road soon!

Y'all I think I should leave the front drum on my 5-speed? I put the pork chop from a rear drum in the front drum. I think it looks better.. View attachment 723536 View attachment 723538

pork chops from the rear atom are usually used for front atoms with springer front ends.u can also use a krate chop as well with a springer as mine came with from the factory(or most likely dealer) .Heres some of my Deluxes and my 1980 Cruiser 5 ( all original paint bikes).

Looks good but I don't like drilling out my Springer for the little stopper to keep the drum from spinning I'd rather use a pork chop nice bikes though

Does anyone reading this thread have an extra chainguard for sale? Color and model name don’t matter. I just want a nice straight one for a bike I’m working on.

I just got a 1980 cruiser 5 and was wondering if anyone has fit a pair of truss rods on one with the headtube shifter in place?

 

[irideiam]

All original 1980 I had and sold to a local friend...just forgot to replace reflectors for picture after cleanup

Here’s a late 84 cruiser 5 project I acquired in a multi bike deal last night. It’s for sale in the classifieds if anyone is interested.

Yeah I think they are 90’s Schwinn cruiser forks. Weird but kinda cool. Bike sold locally today.
