Rick's MSS

We have done three bikes for Rick in Montana. This one, his rigid MSS, was one we did several years ago. It came to us as a MSS in KSS cycle gear, in that it had a KSS oil tank, 21 inch front tire, and skinny mudguards, etc. I have not found yet the beginning photos of what we started with, but Rick did send me these photos of it when completed. Rick had a friend local to him in Montana do the painting of the mudguards, fuel and oil tanks, and we had the hard parts powder-coated in gloss black by Ken's Powder Coating in Tacoma ( Spanaway ). The sidecar was in excellent original finish, and we left it that way. We sourced new mudguards from Armour in the UK, fabricated new hand bent front and rear mudguard stays here in the shed to fit. Wheel rims on the bike and sidecar we custom ordered in from Devon Rim Company in the UK, and are stainless steel, with painted black centers and boarders done in gold pin stripe. In all the bike turned out very nice-
