Cat 400TS....she's a keeper

[trailhopper]

So glad I grabbed this one. This 2 speed girl is a blast to ride. :thumbsup: I bought new clutch shoes and 5 different spring rates for the jackshaft clutch to play with the 2nd gear engagement timing. Works awesome!! New decals, bearings, chains, paint, front fender and free engine work from my kart guy....she purrs. New brake cable coming this week. Big thanks to Glenn Baines tips during our 3 hour conversation on the metal work to remove all that rust. She aint perfect but a nice example of rags to riches.

Thanks all for the compliments. This one was a bag of work and a barrel of patience. This is by far my favorite to date.

Mark your baggy should keep you happy for a while :laugh: but according to Mr. Baine it is Koolaid compared to what he told me to get. PM me if you want some details. :thumbsup:
