I built this one a few years ago. I realized I had the ugliest bike in my group at the vintage races at Road America, so I had to do something about that.

Next thing you know, the bike ended up being 69 Chevelle themed, with the clutch cover made to look like the front profile of the Chevelle fender, a Chevelle stripe, 69 patterned Parchment seat, and painted to match my race car.

My only regret is starting with a newer Chinese bike instead of building off a vintage frame.

I didn't know this thread existed.

Here's my 1973 Suzuki Trailhopper that I restored in my basement. It took about two years working on it here and there. It sat for 20 years and was locked up when I picked it up. Tried to use all Suzuki parts when possible. The paint and chrome work were done professionally. I just started on a 1971 this weekend. I'm going to tackle the paint this go around.

A neighbor kid got a new Blue Enduro. What a bike that was! I drooled for that or a Hustler.

I have a couple of Honda ATC trikes.
A ‘74 70 survivor and a ‘80 110 project.
Great fun!
