All components installed.The curved handlebars were replaced with Wald 872 "touring " bars. After riding it around a bit, Found it not to my comfort level for riding. It might be time to order a set of 16 inch apes. Don't really know what to do with this one.

1945 Roadmaster Delivery take two. No prep paint job (to see if I liked the color), drilled out the broken head badge screws and put on head badge, rebuilt both hubs and bottom bracket, and remounted the front box. Torn down and painted last Monday, and reassembled today including the rear hub rebuild.
