The classic 50cc racers like the AR wheels. That's one of the reasons for the silly prices.

Bought it Very Happy

funny thing is, the guy has another one, he bought them at different times and areas. The vins are sequential! Although the prefexes are one letter off.
I need a tach cable, a better front fender and a rear turn sig so far.

I cant get the bike to run right,but when it does it seems OK.the tank had a coating that failed really, really bad, the carb was super corroded, the battery was flat, however the tank does not seem to leak, I bubble tested it as OK. Got 90% of the liner out. The seat had gunk on it and cleaned that off, it is pretty nice. So, it will be a project down the road, might get to it early next year. Gota get the KR done first.
