    Well, I put 2-stroke oil and fresh gas in it and it started on the second kick. It works. On paper it says that this old yellow bike has twice the horse power of my newer blue bike. It's definitely faster and has more usable gearing for the street.

    thanks, i'm happy with the finished product. Buying 1 to fit would have cost more in s&h than the scrap materials i have, plus welding consumables.


    Eventually i'll start practicing with the tig welder.

    needed a thin 1 1/8" wrench for the dillon 1500 trimmer. Standard wrench is too thick, so i made my own. 1 hr later
    Rough cut and it was a tad too wide so i built it up with some welding. then hand filed to fit







    added a handle and eyelet to hang on back board
