Hey everybody,this is Mark from Michigan. I am currently bikeless,and not sure what I'm going to dive into next.

Here's some pics from back in the day...

Fox Spoiler,1970. Check out the kickstart (Heger?)

Then I moved on to this in 1971...

And changed the handlebars after the fold-up ones started to collapse...

cheezy-
Are you sure it's not the same bike LOL?
I sold it to a friend in Midland.


The side number plates were removed (cuz they rubbed on the shocks),
and the handle bars had a bead of weld where they attached to the fork plate (they started to get wobbley). Primered the weld in brown,then hit 'em with black.

Oh,and there was a bunch of my skin on the choke lever.My finger would graze it every time I pulled the rope starter.
That's how I talked my Dad in to the kickstart!
