Shin San Tong Gemini Panther DB80

[Geminipassion]

Has anyone ever seen a San Tong DB80 Panther? It is similar to a Gemini Boss 80 but not the same, the engine is the same as a SST 80 or Boss 80, I have one in real nice shape,
but don't know if it is what it says or not, I can't find any info on this model anywhere. I will be posting photo's soon.

I found a brief story about the Panther on the net a few years ago. I will try to locate and send you the link.

Thank you, I have seen Panther Gemini's in 175cc but not 80cc.

I believe this is a photo of one:

This one is called a Gemini Black Panther:

I think that is the 175. Basically a copy of the Yamaha CT1. Still looking for that article. There is a guy on Pintrest with a Panther 80.

Ok guys, I've seen those pics before, the one is an sst 80 minitrail, and the other is different than what I have. That's my bike on Pintrest, if it's the silver one.

 

[maverick1]

That be the one I am speaking of.

What I mean is, that's my Pintrest page, and that is a pic of my actual bike. It is actually titled and licensed, none of my other Gemini's are.

Hey there, stumbled across this thread. Do you know of any sources for gasket/rebuild kits? I have and SST 80 I need to go through it.

Thanks!

 

[Geminipassion]

Depends on what gaskets, I found somewhere on OldMiniBikes a thread that talks about what Yamaha parts fit. I have used a cylinder, gaskets and head for a early 60's Yamaha 80cc, fit perfect!

 

[Geminipassion]

Any luck finding that?

If you are speaking of the article I sent you a pm a few weeks back. I have hunted all over the net for it. One of those things I stumbled across. I know I have it saved on my laptop. The laptop that is locked up with a virus. I continue to search.

My brothers and I had a panther back in the late 70's, it was black with white lettering that said panther on the gas tank, as I recall it was an 80 and was almost identical to the 175 in the previous post. I will ask my brothers if either of them have a picture and try to post it.

Fishing around on the net and found this article. There is a link to a Panther owners club.
