Old Lady 1970 Sportsman SMT 500 Mini Trail

My first build/overhaul. I stripped the frame, repainted it, made a new seat, new cables, wheels, tires, brakes, clutch, exhaust, carburetor, head gasket, ground the eye brows, port and polished the intake and exhaust and lapped the valves to improve compression.

I've replaced the engine after new valves new carb and hours of fiddling with it. My kids bought me a Predator 212cc for Mother's Day! Yay!
