This is my first mini bike build.
I picked this up in Sept. not knowing what exactly what it was until I got into it
and came to this Forum!
It's not quite done, as evidenced by the, un-sewn as yet, alligator upholstery!
It was originally "Brittany Blue" and I found a GM color that was a dead match for it.
I replaced everything that needed it including bearings, tires, tubes, rear shocks,
etc. I put the HF Predator in it since it didn't have the original motor.
The original MW serial number/VIN plate is in great condition. Made by Gilson for MW…Model GIL-13987A.
I kept the band brake, but it will need relining soon. It still has the Bosch wheels on it, too.
Really enjoyed putting it back together so far.
