Another Burro Score

[countstevula]

While at the motor city miniz show, I spotted an el burro super 8 that someone had bought and repainted the night before in the dark :doah:

But it had the original 8hp briggs with it....

I had to have it....so I traded him for it and lugged it home. It has the original fenders and some new ape hangers. I would love to find some original bars and chain guard for it. Also an original rim/hub. Anyone have any or know of any?

Here are some pics!

Congrats on the El Burro. Those handlebars look good on it. I've always liked the looks of the wide tire bikes.

Yeah, he sure does like those big bikes.

I think with a little work, this El Burro will be a nice one. It's got alot of the hard to find parts.

Good job with the trade you made.:thumbsup:

I think my whole family could fit on that bike. :laugh:

Good luck on the tire. Teeks was the last one known to have a chain guard and I bought it. looks like Kenny will be making you 2 seats now. Nice find :thumbsup:

Did you trade your other El Burro for it?

I'm just needing an original rim/hub. I will most likely get different tires for it.

Nope, still have that one too!

That's cool. Two is always better than one!

Actually, that front tire and axle are the originals. You'll need to find a conversion

Speaking of conversion, what do you Burro boys use in place of the old one piece floatation dealies with the needle bearings? Where do you source hubs? :shrug:

Let me know if you have any ideas on the hubs!

 

[countstevula]

Got it back from the powder coaters. This will be a rider as it has more imperfections than not. Need to find a set of wheels and hubs too. This is an orange and black theme, just sounded cool. Keeping the chrome hangers for now.

Lookin' good!!:thumbsup:

You gonna pinstripe those fenders?

Mine still has the needle bearing axles. Thankfully, at some point in it's life the conversion to a standard type hub/wheel was made.
