CAT Mini bike found , need help.

[notto]

New member here, I've looked at all the images I can find and have not seen this model. The paint color is gold and the seat is white.
The first ones don't include the NOS gas tank I bought at Winber today.
Great time by the way.

Thanks in advance.

I think it might be a 400js. I have one like that.

I think Maddcarson is right. Although it has the jack shaft mounts of a R4003. The seat looks like it came off a Trail Horse/Trail Blazer.

You changed your answer...:laugh: Honestly I don't think it fits any of the standard brochure pics. Looks like a cross between several models....

 

[SimpleTom]

You changed your answer...:001_tt2: But I think your right...:thumbsup:

I changed it after I noticed the springs on the front forks. :biggrin:

 

[derekbmn]

It's alright...I changed mine to. I really have a feeling it was a Cat sold by Jc Pennys. The decals on the fenders are a good indicator. It may be an oddball...wouldn't be the first and certainly won't be the last...either way... NICE Cat...:thumbsup:

One thing we can count on is that there are LOADS of Cats out there that never made it into the brochures. It also seems that they often used whatever was within arms reach when it came to assembly and construction. (throttles, forks, handlebars and even motors)

R4004. I have one as well.
Basically a R4003 with R4005 forks, handle bars, and tank/kill switch bracket.

So, what is the story on this Cat? What are your plans for it? Did you see any more NOS tanks at the meet? I need one or two.

 

[notto]

Sorry only one tank found.

I'm not sure what I'll do with the Cat , find a engine first.

 

[Casey Davis]

Keep us updated. Love to see more of it.

I'm thinking Endura or MX of some kind with the tank and torque convertors and stuff

 

[Casey Davis]

Any updates?
