Hello friends. Progress is slow on the EZ Rider chopper, but I had a pretty cool discovery today. While stripping the paint off of the forks I found the original Alexander Reynolds sticker with the Model and Serial number. Its not complete, but you can see most of it. I can't make out the Model number, but the Serial number is 100271. I am assuming this indicates that it was built on October 2, 1971 but I am not sure. If you know, please advise. Anyway, once all the paint is stripped, the painting process will begin. I purchased a nice set of Sebac shocks off of ebay. The chrome was much nicer than the pair it came with. Does anyone know whether the shocks below the chrome were black originally or were the painted the same color as the frame? I am really looking forward to getting it back together, but between work, my son's Little League baseball schedule, and my honey do list, my time is limited. I have also acquired my second mini-bike. It's a Manco Streaker roller that I picked up for $56.00 off of ebay. The addiction has started. ttyl Mid Life Crisis....Nothing's ever easy...It's always something...
Hello friends: It's been awhile since I posted, but here is the latest progress on the Alexander Reynolds EZ Rider 1. I painted it Plum Crazy purple, followed by multiple coats of clear. I just need to clean up some of the hardware before reassembly. I had to replace the head gasket on the motor, but its running great now. I am looking for someone to do a complete restoration on the motor. If you know anyone, please advise. I have also included a couple of photos of the Manco Streaker my son and I restored. We installed a Harbor Freight Predator 3hp motor on it. Runs great. I can't keep him off of it. Let me know what you think. Thanks in advance. Nothings ever easy, it's always something...
