This is how I made a custom sissy bar for my beach cruiser. The cruisers design left the mudguard very flexible and there was no place for a rear light.
I used aluminium curtain rail to make the sissy bar. Its cheap easy to work and is strong enough to do the job.
I made the Indian Larry question mark last year as a practice piece when I got the fret saw, I added it to the sissy bar as I am a fan of Indian Larry's custom choppers. I also goes with the Indian Larry jacket I airbrushed.
The question mark is also sort of to do with my profile name, for those that don't no its based on a Bill Baily joke about the Dr Who theme sounding like Belgian jazz

Thanks for looking and I hope you liked my idea.

I bought the bike about 2 months ago and am now getting round to doing some custom work on it. I was looking for a classic town style bike but when I saw this just had to have it, nearest thing to a motorcycle I'm likely to own now. I plan to do an electric pedal assist project on this bike when the parts show up at the right price.
For the sissy bar I used aluminium curtain rail, it comes in a large roll and is sold by the meter and is very cheap easy to work and yet strong enough to do the job.
I used part of a front reflector to make the clip for the rear light.
The Indian Larry question mark was made from 10mm plastic its some kind of polypropylene I think I got cuttings from a plastic fabricator. I was made as a practice piece when i got my fret was and has been sitting around since so i decided to use it.
Tools used:
Saw
Hammer
drill
pop rivet gun
file or sander.

When I saw this bike I just had to get it, was not disappointed either when it arrived. That most comfortable bike I have ever ridden, It gets allot of compliments from other cyclists.
Its a bit heavy weighing in at 25kg and the gearing is not all that good for hills, I go to a local canal tow path to cycle, you just cruise along at about 10-15mph with no effort at all.
I will be doing some more custom work on it when the biking season comes back around.
