Bonanza and karls harley mystery frame

[Steve73]

So I picked up a pretty solid bonanza frame with who knows what wheels and came with NOS 5hp briggs that never had fuel or oil added to it. Plus!

However after talking minis for a couple minutes he gives me a mystery frame for free. It just says Karl's Harley on the front. Lol.. If this looks familiar let me know so I have a starting point for this future project.

Thanks for looking!

Steve

The bonanza is a kit 500, Karl's Harley looks like a manco

Thank you Markus. I thought it might be a manco? The scrub brake has been used so much the metal plate that stops the tire now looks like the letter C

Also thank you for the tidbit about the bonanza. I know nothing about them.

It reminds me of a Corvair “unsafe at any speed”...lol

I did some digging around and I think the Karl's Harley mystery frame could be a 1973 manco trailcat. @markus you were right!
