Any Ideas?

[vwfan79]

I picked this up the other day for $40, I liked that it had suspension. I'm thinking the handle bars are replacements. Any ideas of what I may have here?

Any idea on approx. year and weather the handle bars look to be original or not?

1971ish..bars look about right

I guess it would be alot of work to get it back to original, but could just make my own little trail rider out of it too (which is what I think I'm gonna do).

Here is one I just picked up about a month ago. Mine is labeled Speedway but was manufactured by the company that built the Motoskeeter.

I changed out the shock under the seat with something a little bigger and the handle bars were shot so I used a set of Rupp bars. I had to add a chain tensioner to keep the chain from rubbing the frame since someone cut off the jackshaft mount.

Nice, my jack shaft mounts are missing too. All the wiring for the lights is gone and the gas tank, so there are things I either need to find or just wing it.
