Thanks guys, got her fixed up quick!

Hi guys, A few years back i fixed up my father in laws Hawg Ty minibike. He proceeded to use it once and let it sit along the side of the house to rot :( He wants to ride it in the fourth of July parade coming up but told me the rear tire has a flat... says it is leaking from the...

Still have this motor a year later. Im thinking its a bit too big for my intended use on a bc500. Any idea what an engine like this might be worth? Ive tried to look it up but am coming up blank on the H60 searches. Im thinking a nice 5hp small block might be just the ticket for my bike. Thanks

Ill take the tank mount

Would love one of the kits, if you make up another set of them. Thanks

Awesome. Thanks guys

The wheels were from Ebay.... showed up in really rough shape with layers of old paint, rusted shut hardware.... scrubbed em clean and polished... had to remove the old "general tire" set as I just didn't trust the old ones, the old sprocket was rusted up too

damn.. can't edit pictures onto these!

Ended up with 2 different badges. One is raised lettering and just says "Bonanza" the other is a standard bonanza badge that I ended up using. Unfortunately the original raised lettering one had been stripped and painted over about 10 times already. Tried using oven cleaner but no luck. Oh...
