What wrong with this picture?What wrong with this picture?I'm looking for a bike to restore. I found this one but it's out of state so I'd have to buy it and have it shipped. What's up with the rear fender on it? It looks weird to me. Any other obvious problems?
Re: What wrong with this picture?The fender is cut short and ya gonna need a lot of paint remover. .......lm
'Wierd' is right; looks like it has a 16" rear wheel, although I don't think it actually does. Rear sprocket looks huge! Tank emblems (obvious), kickstart lever (possibly entire mechanism) & engine valley cover missing. Painted by Stevie Wonder (one of my '70s musical heroes, so get off any soap-boxes NOW!) Take a chance at $cheap?
Might be helpful to look past cosmetics and think about what's right with this pore ol' thing...it's just begging for some love...looks like it's almost all there, rear fender and other needed parts aren't hard to come by, you're gonna want to repaint for any restoration you do...muffler on side showing doesn't look too bad, and they're not cheap...assuming it's reasonably priced and you've got time, energy, and some bucks it might turn out to be a decent rider...shipping might be a deal killer...good luck...Lee
