novadose74,
I grabbed this shot from the picture of your mini.
Now to find one. I know there is a fiberglass one made. I would prefer to come up with an original.

No problem. They come up once in a blue moon. Repops are nice, for now, till you find one

I was lucky to pick up this Chrome one a while ago, I don’t have the bottom half. I’ll just get a non chrome one and paint it the same color as the bike. Might be a good look, who knows.

That looks awesome! I can imagine it painted the same color as the bike. I think that would look pretty good.

When I zoom in, I can tell that the two little screws holding the rear fender on are original, nice touch, most of those little screws are stripped

A couple of them I had to use my hot wrench on. lol

I stripped a ton of them, sad to say, but I do have a lot of them also

An old trick I learned from much more experienced guys back in my model A days.
Heat the nut or bolt to cherry, let it cool. Do this three times and usually the fastener will come out fairly easy.

So, yesterday on our way out of town to our daughters for another weekend of siding, I dropped some more parts off at the plating shop. Another pair of rims to chrome and some small parts to be clear zinc plated. Now for the 4-6 week wait.

Hopefully I will be picking up my parts next Friday. Had to call the plating shop to check on it. Might be time to find another plating shop that communicates better.

Here are pics of a Fox trail tramp & trail FX I restored. I had both powder coated to factory correct colors. For the smaller single speed clutch cover I used a fiberglass repop.

Just picked this up for 100$. I think it’s a condor? Not certain. This is my first restoration project. Any direction for more info on this mean machine would be great appreciated!

thanks for your time!

im assuming the roller blade chain tensioner wheels? Are not stock and very “custom”. What would be the cause for someone to need such an addition to a stock machine? And what could I do to remedy?

I know not much info but doing what I can. Just plowed for 24hrs straight and bought the bike right before snowstorm hit . Trying to order parts for when I dive into it.

thanks for your time!

Thank you, Mark.
The boots are from a Kawasaki Mule. The fit is good, but they are much more ridged/heavy duty than the originals. Also, the original style of clamping won't work because the flanged area is not wide enough. Oh, the part number is: 49006-1257. Not cheap, but then what is. LOL
It's only money and I've never seen a hearse with a trailer hitch to take it with you.

I also used Kawasaki boots but I used stainless steel zip ties (Lowes) to secure to forks (see pic)
