The fenders look like they could have been factory or at least dealer-installed, but I have a hard time believing that front sprocket came on that bike.

when I first got it I thought the same thing too but I have seen two other bikes with the same sprocket on it that were cruisers

Hi I know this is an old thread but is it possible if you can send me some pictures of your front drum brake, mainly the side where the cable connection is, I want to see the difference between the one I have.
Thanks

Here's a photo of ATOM "Front" Expander / Drum Brake... Brake arm side with cable connection.
The second photo is the comparison with "Rear" on top.

So, it appears that you have a "Rear" brake assembly in a "Front" ATOM Drum Housing on your 24" Kustom Cruiser.
