I acquired this bike recently from my powder coater friend. Boy, was it a mess. The fenders and chain guard are decent though. Pic of when I got it home:
Had some light switches mounted to it, and a pair of what looks like meat hooks hose clamped to it. Not to mention, half a milk jug wired between the frame rails
So I set to work removing the garbage. The Briggs 5er has no spark and the gas smells like varnish. Clutch set screw stripped immediately. Getting there.....
The hubs were from the old balloon tires. You can see the flanges still on the rear hub.
Removed the fenders, and seat....
But wait, what's this?! The frame has been broken and repaired! But look how "off" the repair is. The 2 ends are supposed to be one seamless bar. What are people thinking when they get their welder out??
This Terra cat is Troubled. Let's see what I can do with it
