Hey Guys,
light lens endup being 7.50 ea.
I went ahead and ordered 10 reds and 4 ambers.
I've got orders from Jack, Nick and Ed(Doc brown)
I'll have one extra set if anything happens.
They'll be in hand about next Monday. This light guy is a pain to get a hold of.

That's great, thanks! So we're looking at $22.50 + shipping per set? What do you figure for shipping?

Guys,
I'm still disappointed on the 5.00 to 7.50 price change from this guy.
I'll see about getting a cheapest shipping available, we have some pretty cheap shipping through work. Should be at or about 5.00
Guys, PM your addresses if you ordered a set.

Those look cool, is there a peewee font available? Or is that just custom drawn?

For that 'Pee Wee' I used 'Lucida Fax Regular'. For the typed 'X-1' I used 'Lucida Fax Demibold'. This was the closest I had to the original 'Fleet' font.
For 'The Greatest Bike In The World' I used 'Futura Condensed Extra Bold'.

I've also finished a 'Playhouse Door' style badge. I tried to put more 80s New Wave whimsy in the design. (No font on this one - The text is all hand drawn):

Hey Jamie, Welcome... How did your pics from the museum turn out? Ive been wanting to go down there and take some more pics...
 
Did you get detail shots of the left brake lever?
Also where the red tubing goes on the left side microphone hanger piece.

Abe, I think youre right about the chain... Its either a diamond chain or some aftermarket chain. I found one that was a NOS schwinn chain that had the goldish outer links but im thinking its a diamond chain... Unfortunately none of my pics were sharp enough to see the diamond...

As for the gooseneck... I picked up a rechromed one that was said to be off a 50's schwinn... It matches the screen used bike pretty well, but im sure they made these same style on later bikes too...

Jamie,
I still don't see what that light goes?? On the dash of the Tiger siren??

Sorry but I beg to differ on the wheels, I know they're definately not Araya or Ukai, I checked some of those out and the rim profile is way different. The X1's have a slight crown and dimples, same wheels on both Museum bikes.
It would make sense to use aftermarket heavy duty wheels for stunts.



The bike is this pics is not a movie X1, Pee Wee's Bike picture by witzkus - Photobucket
The bags are all different.
It would make sense they had a fiberglass mold and all the bags and custom pieces be exactly the same.


Also some people say that the comet sprocket is only a colson or hawthorne part but a Japanese bike maker made some like this in the 80's too, see item 350434040169 on ebay, I've seen it in about 3 different tooth count too.


I think the whole outboard motor story, might have been that they referenced it for the bags not actually molded anything.
I've read the same story someplace.

Please add pics when you get them.

Also I found this recently online
