Finished Build Thread on Electra C1 "Cafe Cruiser"
Just wanted to post some final build pics for my C1. As some of you recall, I joined the group a few weeks ago after finally finding an Electra...ended up with a 24" model (was not what I really wanted), but have come to really like the handling and comfort since then. It is amazing how much you can transform a bike in a few weeks - and still have some small enhancements to go (pedals, springer, etc). When I first got him, he was in great shape, but no character....he's now ready for Santa Rosa Beach, FL.

The style points on this build are very high. Nice job. Especially like the cup holder.

The cylinder thing is a leather saddle bag. Grips were sourced from Amazon.
Pics before the hurricane hit the panhandle. Yeti did perfect and didn't create any odd balance issues with the C1. Super easy and comfortable.
