$20 Taco

[INJUNTOM]

I was kidding, atleast he didn't call it a Taco or Rupp.

It doesn't look like a Meyers either so what is it MR expert? :thefinger:

I've seen them before, but never cared to remember.

BTW, I'm no expert at anything :thefinger:

 

[INJUNTOM]

It only ugly because it resembles a Taco. :tongue:

Only the late model Tacos are ugly. :talking:

 

[GTO]

I've seen them before, but never cared to remember.

Isn't that convenient! :thefinger:

The bike is small, forks are like old Taco's,,,, Tomsprops? care to guess what it is? Original color looks like it was yellow.

 

[INJUNTOM]

I could dig through my info, but it's just not worth it. It's not an early Taco, not a Flexo, Not a Caper, Not a Bonanza... :thefinger:

I thought it might have been this one with the 300 forks.

 

[ScooterBoy]

So........Did anyone buy it?????????

I think you are 100% right. :thumbsup: The forks don't seem to have the original yellow under the black paint and the frame look like that with the bigger rear end and weird angle for shocks. Tires say made in USA but have no brand and the front looks like it's factory STUDDED! Thats right, metal studs just under the tread in a precise pattern.

Does anyone have a BIG pic of a 500? A close up of the JS area would be nice and engine plate and kick stand too. The engine plate has what looks like two sets of factory slits and a few odd little holes that are for nothing.

I don't know, I'm just guessing from a pic and am curious about it. :001_tongue:

1st, I looked at your Zebra 300 and noticed the scrub is the same as well as the kick stand mount but the kickstand on the $20 bike is more around the front of the engine area?

Do you know when the Zebras where made? Size/ type engine?

 

[george3]

tried to tell you z-bra. buy the IC engine and paint it taco color with the seats thay dont look so bad. mack has parts for that bike. I think he has a complete one.

Fake TACO's This is all I know, thanks to Mac.:thumbsup: I did find this nice picture of a 300 on Minidoodle.

The seat is wrong though.

Where is it for sale??

 

[1stlegendtx]

Where is it for sale??

The bike this thread is about was on the Seattle Craig's list. Now the add is gone. Someone got it. Not me. I thought about it for the forks. I also have a wheel half I could have used on it.

 

[GTO]

Guys,, I'm begging you,,,:001_tongue:,,,I need a pic of a 500!!!!

I've seen all the 300 pic's and fake taco threads but don't remember ever seeing good pic's of 500's!

Don't tell me it's more rare than Tacos again.

And George, you didn't say 500. :thefinger:

I started a thread asking if anyone had a running Zebra 500. No response other than it became a seat fight.:doah:

 

[GTO]

Thanks , why where you asking about a 500?

Did you ever get a seat for your 300? If so pic's?

 

[GTO]

WAIT A MINUTE! I just noticed you have 500 forks! :doah: What the hell is going on? TWO not very common Zebras in the same area with the wrong model forks? WTF!

You know there is a way to make it right. :tongue:

Here's the seat.

The only way I see to make it right is if you have the $20.00 bike. I actually think mine is already right. Look at Mac's.

:thumbsup:

 

[GTO]

Thanks for the pic's. :thumbsup: Seems the mixed and matched forks for these things.

WHERE is the engine!

I'm happy to see you have little holes in your engine plate,, why am I happy to see little holes? see the General section. :thefinger:

I have the engine. I don't know why but I just seem to procrastinate on the engines for all my bikes. I think its because during our Kart racing day's I was always doing engine R&R's (for tech, rebuilds,differant classes etc) so I am still sick of the engine side of this hobby.:doah: Also I am thinking of changing the color to match Mac's.:thumbsup: I am just waiting for a part from him.:wink:
