[QUOTE="Bluebrick, post: 168464, member: 10895"] Thank you racerx and kirrbby for your ideas and comments. I agree it will be more fun than work for sure. :sneaky: I don't think I would have taken the plunge if the bike was not (at least to my untrained eye) unmolested and complete. But life is short and minibikes are fun, right?! In addition to tires, tubes, and fork boots my short list of parts includes the following: new headlight bucket (the original is broken), new headlight and horn switches (both broken), new carb or carb rebuild kit along with new fuel lines and spark plug, air filter, kick start rubber(missing), closed cell battery and a new modern rectifier. The brake shoes and bearings are a good idea and are now on the list. Also on my list was a new chain and possibly new sprockets. Am I missing any other maintenance or wear-and-tear items that fail on these bikes? Kirrbby- you are right the paint is bright with just a quick soapy wash-- so I think it will look great with a deep cleaning and a waxing. Pretty sure the bike was in an unheated garage here in Seattle for 30+ years, so the saltwater air has created some chrome pitting but no rust on the bike itself and no paint fading. [/QUOTE]
