This bike is supposed to have Good Year tires on it- looks like someone changed the back one at some time. Although there is plenty of tread, the cracks will not do. There is no evidence of the rear chain adjusters, either....




The front has the right tire.....



However, upon close inspection it is cracked as well

That's what I need. Rear chain adjusters.
The Sprite frame is simular in the rear. And they seem to have the same rims and hubs.

Disc brake is there, and it works. Unfortunately the original switch for the light is gone, but I have a solution

Mark, any chance you have a pic of the rear brake switch that originally went on that? I might have one.

This is the switch on my buddy's Trail Bug, it's the only picture I have though. The switch is under the plastic cover.

Found some more before teardown pics....

Someone wrapped the pegs in friction tape, and the engine plate was a bit banged up as well:



Whats left of the brake light switch wiring:



Anyone know how to decode this? I know that SBH stands for Short Block Horizontal, but that's about it....



Check out the muffler. looks like a stock snowblower type, but with a short piece of slash cut pipe welded to it. Still has remnants of the white paint on it
