Nice work on the Cheeftah!!! I will be starting my MB1600 soon. Here is the frame as it sit now but I have all the original parts including the chain guard thanks to a member on the board. Keep up the good work and pics as you go.
I seen a guy redo one of these on here asking for the Cheetah Decal that goes on your forks and it turned out really nice I forget who makes reproductions but like i said it was really nice repro! :smile:
Thanks,need to set up tank and put on the fork decal and stripes (getting those from jeep4me).Any ideas for the tank?Step daughter took for test ride
(shes 13)and all looks good.
Getting close to finished.Wife put the decals and stripes on yesterday.
Didnt have good pics so just guessed at stipe offset.Dont like tank on the frame but havent came up with another way yet.Let me know what you think.

I saw your Cheeftah 1300 Decal & fender stripes-They look great! I could sure use a set for my old Cheeftah 1300 restore I'm doing! Please advie where I can get a set of these. Thanks, Ken.
I have a Cheeftah too. I installed a Briggs Intek and used a Kohler K91 gas tank. Bike is being modified to take a sidecar. Its all black with hammered copper wheels and home made seat. Will post photos soon.
The original pegs on mine were in the exact same location as yours and look exactly the same also! They originally had round black rubbers that fit the squared off steel folding pegs that were welded on the frame-mine have been missing for years, but, I still remember them. When I blasted the frame I ground them off, cut 2 pieces of 3/8" pipe 1" long & welded each to the frame up toward the front (more comfortable now that I'm a little bigger & taller than 40 years ago). I saved the original pegs though, why, I don't know, I'll probably never use them!
