Ugliest mini bike ever made..makes a Powell look sexy.

I had three of those things they are actually pretty well engineered because they were made by a tool and die company.

The HS40 with the TAV had plenty of power....they ride pretty well if you can stay on them...:doah:

If it's cheap pick it up...the gas tank alone is worth a few bucks.

TC, that'll be a nice project. I've got my survivor fine tuned pretty well. Excellent rider IMHO.

 

[tippycanoenm]

I agree KK......wont be caught dead on one.......but for 40 bucks i bet i could part it out and keep the tank..........:smile:

 

[tippycanoenm]

hey mr g............sorry if i insulted ya.........actually taking a second look.....its not all that bad, but this one needs so much.......i expect i will never build it..........:smile:

 

[KustomKartKid]

It's kind of a running joke about them being ugly..... they are so ugly they are cool, that's why I owned 3 of them!!

MrG that is as nice an example as I have seen....soft tail too.

This is the first one I owned..

Spyderegg has most of it now......
