Greetings Topnotch did you manage to get any of the front brake setups done for the Bonanza MX? Still looking to set up a front brake on my machine? Keep on building them great bike!
Beautiful Hodaka Bonanza's Topnotch, cannot believe how many you had !!!! Im having enough trouble completing just one.They look straight off the showroom floor. Looking forward to you posting some photos of the front and Rear foot brake Bonanza MX?
Hi Ajf thanks for posting those photos. I had seen some of those in an old mini bike book? Wish they were better quality but i can still make out the rear foot brake? Looks like the pedal is tucked in under the frame and its hinge position is on the rear swing arm pivot plate? And then cable to...
Bonanza 1510 Rear brake
Hi Topnotch thanks for the info, would really like to see some detail on the rear foot brake install to see if i can install one on my bike? Any chance you could post a photo ? Do you have any spares for one? Thanks:thumbsup:
Yes can only agree with you CFH ? Only ever seen the odd advertising page or magazine article myself? Bonanza must have sold the bikes with some form of information covering service, parts etc?:shrug:
Thanks Slywilliez. Do you by any chance have any details on the rear footbrake install for the Mx1510? I have only every seen poor quality photos of the foot brake set up?:helpsmilie:
Really nice work Topnotch ! Great to see a complete one thats back in action. That Engray Maico Spitfire has my attention also? Any idea what the top speed was?
Thats a great piece of history and interesting reading. Anyone have any paperwork on the 1510MX?
Thanks again for posting, the warranty card and title cert were great also.
Really a beaut restoration, brings back old memories. Excellent work, wish i can get mine anywhere near that good?
They were never sold in Australia, we only new about them as there were occasional write ups in mini magazines back then? I remember drooling over the writeup's and photos wishing...
Anyone have any photos or info on the installation of the foot rear brake pedal on the 1510MX ? In an old 70's minibike book there is some B&W photos of the Minicross with a front brake set up and a pedal operated rear brake? Front brake set up looks straight forward enough to set up in the...
HI can you explain further about the input being on the outside of the frame on a 1410MX ? So the 1510MX had it on the inside? Were there any other major differences between the 1410 and the 1510 apart from the 1510 having a fiberglass fuel tank and shorter seat?
Hi Aaron purchased a nice Bonanza off Tom thats probably who you mean? He was a huge help going out of his way to assist me with getting the bike all the way home here in Melbourne Australia . I had much earlier purchased a 1510MX frame and forks off Ebay, the frames OK but the forks had been...
They are fantastic examples of the KV and MT, really beaut ! I have a rough MT1 that I am slowly restoring, they were great bikes. Keep em running!!! Buzby...
Great photo of the front brake set up, thanks. I have a 1510MX In Australia I'm trying to build up and I'm looking for any photos info on the front brake set up and the foot operated rear brake set up? Ive only ever seen details in a book but photos were black and white and of poor quality so...
