If you're asking about mine, it's a minibike, 1973 SL70, yes it's a 4 stroke, finding good tanks and mufflers is a challenge these days.

Yes I was, I had a xl350, bought it new in 1974.Wish I would have kept it, had a chain drive(which would stretch so had to adjust alot)

Hambone,

What a "find"...

I wanted a trail bike like that in the early 70s, but we were too poor to afford one, sniff, sniff...

You are sure making it/them look new again - beautiful!

I like your TRUMP sign - "TRUMP 2020"...!!!

Thanks Mike, need to get it finished, it's holding up my jeep project.

Was finally able to get the bodywork painted, need to apply decals and a couple more coats of clear, wrapping this project up.

And when he is done it will move to the corner and gather dust with the rest of them.

Or, I could sell it and buy another jeep.
