SELF INTRODUCTION: I was on the last board as bonustoolkit. I have changed that to my given name.
I started a project build there " File and Fit." I paln to continue that when I go back home in Dec. 2011. I first joined the board when Gary W had it in the year 2005. That was the time I really gained an interest in building chops. I have a long way to go, compared to some here.

Looks clean with the white wheels.

You don't see it often, and looks great.

SELF INTRODUCTION: Hi Dan, thanks for your time and energy spent on this new board. I hope you will give me a waiver on the email account, I have used gmail so long I don't have a clue what my service provider account is.
I just returned home from a 2 week trip in New Mexico, have a few good pix, can't wait to share my off-highway traveling. Got to put 1400 miles on the scoot.

if that is a windjammer fairing, it's worth quite a bit.

If you plan on taking the ol Lady out I'd probably go Trike...if not I'd Cafe it or turn it into a Drag Bike if there's a Strip near you.

Just a guess, but they were designed by Craig Vetter, and were considered to be much more efficient than any other available then.
He made a lot of moola off of it, I believe he started a manuf business and went into production. That one looks in good condition.


Here is one that was listed for about $150 in July on EBay.

Not worth what I thought it might, and taking a closer look at your pic, I don't think it is one. The ones I remember had Windjammer on the lower edge.

SELF INTRODUCTION: I own a custom fab shop, and build choppers in my off time. I like to build differant from the norm, no cookie cutter stuff, no bolt ons, foot clutch, hardtail, and loud. My kids help me build, they learn how to run the equipment, and we get quality time together while they build some skills.

If it was a chain drive I'd vote cafe......But since its a shafty, I'd go trike no question. I'm hopefully picking up a maxim and thats my exact plan. Run it to a samurai rear diff, they're narrow, and run a ford 5 bolt pattern, have drop out 3rds like a 9inch, and they're stupid light.
