my 1969 Taco 22 build ....

[midwestkustomz]

Here is my 1969 Taco 22 that I purchased here on the forum from INJUNTOM.
(his pic)

After media blasting & some minor frame clean up & fork repairs.
Parts needed. Friction brake, kickstand.
I still have to weld on a foot peg. Also need a rear axle.

Dunlop rubber & 5" Tri-Stars are for mock up.

As you can see, these wide profiles tires are too much for the Taco 22 frame.

Might be a little tricky to getting a rear sprocket on there.

re: video of the seat....
I was waiting for it to move, or talk, or fly away.

Build is looking good. How are you going to get a sprocket on there? Where did you get those SWEET tires??

This guy lives about a mile from me, but I don't know him. I think I'll go take a look at this bike Sunday, that is unless Jimmie C. doesn't buy it before I get there! LOL!!
