I still need to get the handle bars rechromed, electrical, seat and forward controls but it actually looks like a bike now.

Nice good luck

It's a .60 over 165cc 2-stroke so no land speed records here but it will be a fun addition to the stable.

Does this mean I don't have to wave to your metric bike riders now?

Thank you. I happened across it and it seemed like a fun project that you don't see very often.

And most of the parts should still be dealer available for the new models...lol

Thanks for the encouragement, it's been a slower process than I would have hoped.

Thanks, bro! They sound like a 50cc dirt bike.

Hopefully it will get to see the Dragon in the Spring.

So far everything on the bike, except the tires, is either New Old Stock or refurbished original.

I lucked out and found an original speedometer with 0 miles on the odometer.

Way to go, what a fulfilling project. Congratulations and looking forward to seeing some video when you get it running.
