Looks clean with the white wheels.

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

That does look good. Nice job.

Cant wait for your next one. Cafe would be interesting, but I still gotta vote trike to see what you do with it.

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.

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.
