    WTB: Toyoco Aligator parts, Scat Kitty Exhaust Elbow, Sears Roper 2 Speed Mini Bike

    I am looking for a few parts for my Toyoco Alligator. Specifically, a brake lever and an "Alligator" sticker for the chain guard. The bike is all original, but repro parts are OK. I also have a 1967 Skat Kitty. I'd sure like to find an original exhaust elbow that attaches the exhaust pipe to...

    Toyoco Question

    Thanks for the compliments. Since those pics, I washed & detailed it. Still have a little more to do, but it's cleaning up nicely. A couple things I noticed while getting it up and running: 1) The brake lever is fractured inside the handlebar housing. It broke where the bolt goes thru the...

    Toyoco Question

    Thanks. The bike is really clean for its age. Only a little surface rust on the handlebars, and that cleaned up with some WD-40 and some metal cleaning pads. It was used, but not abused by the previous owner and was exactly what I was looking for: an un-restored bike that presents well and...

    Toyoco Question

    I recently purchased what I believe is a Toyoco Alligator from my local C.L. The seller was the original owner and indicated that he bought the bike from a Pennsylvania "Two Guys" department store in 1969. He rode the bike for a few years and then stored it for the next 4 decades. The bike...

    Fox Campus Questions

    I am in negotiations for it right now. My buddy bought a Rupp Continental from the guy & told me about this one. Looks pretty clean; I hope it works out. If it does, I'll definitely post pics.

    Fox Campus Questions

    Did Fox Campus bikes ever come with 4hp Briggs & Stratton engines? Did they come with plastic or metal chain guards? The one I saw for sale was gold with gold stripes on the fenders and had a 4hp B&S. Thank you for the help.

    New Skat Kitty Owner Questions

    FINALLY figured it out. Thanks a lot, guys. Well, here she is: I think it's mostly original. The decals, head/ tail lamps & gas tank straps are not original. It was missing a kill switch, so I had one put up on the handle bars. The Skat wasn't my first choice; I really wanted a CAT...

    New Skat Kitty Owner Questions

    I have a couple pics of my Skat Kitty, but I am unable to post them to the site. I am unsure why the posting of the pics are denied. It says: "new posts are limited by the number of URLs they may contain...". Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    New Skat Kitty Owner Questions

    Will do. I'm going to upload some pics this week. Just got it back after having the carb rebuilt. Now it idles great and runs strong, though at wide open throttle, it does seem to surge a little. The carb may need some minor tweaking. The original kill switch was missing, so I put one up on...

    New Skat Kitty Owner Questions

    I recently picked up my first mini bike - a 1967 Skat Kitty. I was hoping to find a Cat Eliminator but this one kind of fell into my lap. I didn't realize the bike was sought after until I joined this site. The bike runs and is mostly complete. It is missing the kill switch and does not have...

    Yes sir, that's the one. I like non-restored bikes, so I'm not going to do anything to the paint/chrome. The guy had a binder full of repro literature plus the original "Skat Kittly" decal. Now, I get to hunt for NOS parts. Besides a sidecar, I'd like to find set of original lamps, as well...

    New to the forum

    I'm new to the forums. I've been looking for an old mini bike for quite awhile. Yesterday, I found a 1967 Scat Kitty on my local CL. Although I have really wanted a Cat Eliminator or Sears Roper, this one was too cool to pass up. The seller and I agreed on a price, and it was mine. It is...
