Huffy Cranbrook

The bike started as a new Walmart $80 Huffy Cranbrook Cruiser. The customizing details are as follows.

1. Schwinn replica tank with 3 installed push button switches for 12 volt Bates motorcycle headlight and rear LED trailer light, motorcycle Horn and standard engine Kill. Headlight bracket was made from a large chrome spoon handle. Lights are very bright!

2. Electrical wiring secured and routed on a 2X4 wood filler block mounted into frame.

2. Lights and horn are powered by a rechargeable 12 volt burgler alarm battery that just makes the clearance sitting on a custom bracket. Recharge is easy with easy access to battery posts with charger clips.

3. Springer front end, with custom brace to hold front fender.

4. Engine brackets made from gate harware from Home Depot. Note; engine sitting level in frame.

5. Early model lawnmower gas tank, chromed ($ ouch) attached to bike with custom bracket and wide ties. Tank has in line filter and shut off valve.

6. Boost bottle for that extra "get up and go"

7. New better pedals, center kickstand.

8. Copper plug wire and plug upgrade. Stainless steel hardware used through out build.

9. Engine sripped and painted with high heat black and aluminum. Cases stripped and just buffed.

10. How does it run? Like a fine swiss watch....

It looks great. I think a lot of people will copy your engine mount
and wiring ideas.
