I'm in need of the bars to fit a 400x. No cracks or breaks.

Calling all People with Cat Parts My handle bars are busted; anyone have a set with no breaks they could part with? :doah:

lol, this would be too much work for me! question, it looks like you already have the original disc brake mount, was the scrub brake added later? which came first, the caliper or the scrub? :biggrin: good luck to you, i hope you can get this frame sturdy enough for riding again.

Sneak Peek I'm pretty much done with the bike. Now I just need to finish the motor. Here is what I've got so far.:hammer::pimp:

Update After I sold the old Carlisles to a forum member, I was finally able to finish up the wheels. While I was at it, I finished the handle bars too. Now I'm waiting on the rest of the parts to get here, including a seat made by kbs8ball. Blasted I used this Stainless-colored appliance...

i'd say that looks amazing. :thumbsup:

Oh yeah, i forgot about the motor.:blink: Well, it's a 5hp Power Plus Briggs & Stratton, so vintage looking it is not. The head has been ported and polished; it has a cam with better lift and duration; and I think it has electronic timing (no points). It fired right up when I bought it, but...

Still Work to be Done Here are some minor tasks that I have to complete: I need to unmount the original Carlisle "Double Indians" since they are cracked and dry-rotted. Then, I'm going to clean and sand the wheels. I want to paint them Aluminum to match the handle bars. I don't think...

Hunt Wilde Foot Pegs I just received these Hunt Wilde foot peg covers from bayareaburrito this morning. They look so nice, I feel bad knowing I'm going to put my muddy feet all over them.:eek:

thanks mac:thumbsup:

quick question, what is the original chain size for the cat sprocket?

hey, that's a slick weasel-- really simple and clean. nice.

ha!, yes sir. i'm trying not to grow any sparkly orange tumors either.:repuke:

I just finished the last clear coat on the frame today. I went with Pumpkin Orange Krylon, and then sprayed glitter for a '70's look. Don't fret, I painted all the parts separately. You can still see the heavenly paint cloud.:nuke::stuart: I haven't started on the handle bars yet...

...so, I tore it down, and sent it to Robbins Sandblasting here in Winston-Salem. :grind::grind::grind: I couldn't believe there was clean metal under forty years of weather and rust. By the way, I found that cool bugle exhaust in one of the parts boxes. I want it to go on the bike.

There's so much good stuff on this forum that I wanted to see if I could contribute. So, here is what I've done so far. This would not be possible without the help I've received from a bunch of you. Here's how I bought 'er: I responded to an ad on Craig's List which was for a...

hi can you do a 19" cat seat for me? or maybe have one laying around? i'm a serious inquirer. thanks, john

thanks minibikin', i'm not sure if it was original or not; it looks factory though. i would have kept the one on it, but when i unbolted it from the motor plate, it cracked in two. i'll probably just fabricate something-- pretty simple piece really. just to clarify, this is the plastic...

Calling All Cat Restorers :helpsmilie: i have some more questions if anyone wants to help. How long are the angle irons (seat braces) for the bikes with seat shocks? Where can i get a good 19" seat? I prefer to not buy one of those generic ones with the white beading. What size are the...

gee whiz where did you get that cat decal? it looks great with the chrome. i guess i'm going the cheap route by painting the handle bars. i would definitely like to put the cat decal on the front though. anyway, from the pictures you guys posted of the absorber, i'm going to say that there...
