    Translation Fail

    Saw this in a pocket bike listing on eBay, wondered WTF were they trying to say?

    Factory Or Custom Clutch Cover?

    I'm leaning towards custom built based on the welded seams and similarity to some other pieces on the MX Bonanza this "came with" that were fabbed. Pretty well built and approximately 14.5"×7" at the widest points, will definitely refinish and find a repurpose if it's not some rare factory...

    Bonanza Experts Needed

    Just picked this up yesterday, real excited about the rear sprocket tooth count! Have a question on fork lowers though. Was there a change from silver "paint" to chrome at some point? I always thought the lowers were supposed to be silver but I'm usually looking at old B&W pics. I've seen...

    1" PTO Centrifugal Clutch Options?

    Researching clutches for a 10hp(+?) Tecumseh flathead with a 1" shaft going on one or another jackshaft frames I don't have original engines for. Not going to be racing, just a fun machine build. Have to run the sprocket inboard otherwise I can work with different tooth counts or chain. A...

    Bearing Source?

    I'm looking for a new source for sealed bearings, common size 5/8" x 1-3/8" in both flanged types. I'll probably buy between 50-100 per order, trying to strike a balance between quality and price but I'll pay up for quality or USA made. Was about to pull the trigger on a trial batch of 30 XiKe...

    Carlisle 4.00-6 Tires

    Looking for one of each or hopefully at least one to match the branded Carlisle tire. The Carlisle I have is NOS, the 2nd is otherwise IDENTICAL but used and has no name/brand, etc. It is marked "Made in USA", not sure if it was a knockoff or Carlisle made some without their brand? These are...

    H25 Oil Quantity?

    Anyone have an older version of the Tecumseh L Head manual or Quick Ref that has the oil capacity listed for the H25? No dipstick in the dual low fill side cover. I'm going with 21oz pretty confidently as the crankcase is the same as a H30-35 but would feel warm and fuzzy if I had it in print...

    Bonanza E Engines

    Has anyone found any references to what serial number ranges by year of "E" Ace engines Bonanza used? I'm trying to track down E engines that could have been correct for the last two original Bonanza Hodaka rollers I own that are missing engines. I've got one reference to ALL E serial numbers...

    Horstman Super Cycle

    I'm in the research and parts collecting phase for a build I want to do. Already have a 67 Continental roller and a Hodaka Ace 90 on the way. Think I have the gas tank sourced but there is almost NOTHING for information out there on these "kits". Anyone have any information...

    Latest Find

    Somehow got to be first in line for once on my latest CL find. Pretty confident it's a 1967 Rupp Continental Electra but I wanted to let the experts verify my research and show off this crazy custom job. Figured the tank was added but the brackets were welded on as well as factory welds?

    New Carlisle 5" Kart & Mini Bike Tires

    I inherited these 4 brand new Carlisle 4.10-5 (NHS) and don't have anything in my stable with 5" wheels. Never mounted, nice and pliable, blotchy factory mold release on all, I cleaned the one sidewall (2nd picture) with some WD40 on a rag to make sure it comes off. How about $60 for 2 or $110...
