bonanza-trailhorse? what is this?

[george3]

dont know what this is. does anybody? sorry dont know how to put the picture directly on the page. I am thinking on buying this but dont quite know what we have here looks like a combo of different bikes. http://www.oldminibikes.com/forum/photopost/data/500/Untitled4.jpg

looks like a bonanza with tall JS mounts and MX front end.

 

[george3]

yea but look at the jack shaft mount. thats not standard bonanza is it? that is bonanza mx front end?

 

[george3]

If I buy this will need a package dead from 8ball on seats. to many minis not enough seats.

It's an MX1410 missing the wheels and tank.

Tall jackshaft was for torque converter models. Dave Miller says that they built some factory race bikes with that frame and a Hodaka motor as well. I don't think they sold them that way though....

 

[george3]

I wonder if I will have a problem with a tav-2 on a briggs 5HP with the tall mounts? any suggestions.

 

[tomsprops]

Quit thinking about it and buy it ! I'm looking for a set of those forks as we speak ! Hint hint if anyone has a xtra set !

 

[george3]

picking it up tomorrow.

 

[george3]

I would like to help on the forks but I would never split the frame and forks up. and after seeing 8balls bonanza had to have one like it. almost looks like a honda front wheel. what do you think of honda wheels on it? I know not oem but it might be cool.

 

[kbs8ball]

Get the right rims...there only 40 bucks each. Those bikes are the best riders out there. it does look like a honda wheel on it now...need better pics of the front you cant really tell the condition to well...pegs are wrong also.

 

[kbs8ball]

Id like to find a taller Js mount frame myself...bolt the tav pulley right to the jackshaft and eliminate a chain...it would have some crazy torque set up this way.

 

[george3]

I am thinking of the larger driven pulley. I think 7" instead of 6". I got the bike and some other goodies. some 5HP briggs IC engines in great cond. post some pictures tomorrow this one will need some work but It will be nice someday.
