I been searching hundreds of vintage minibike catalogs trying to identify my frame. However, the only front end fork that comes close to what I have was an American Leisure falcon. The frame also incorporates the type of brake that scrapes against the rear tire when the brake lever is deployed...
By chance did you happen to take a picture of your final custom throttle plate conversion with the cable? If so, can you send a picture of the final configuration of your 6 horse throttle conversion on the engine?
Studeman68: I was wondering if you could do me a big favor. I noticed your Bonnie bike has a clutch cover decal which looks beautiful. Could you do me a favor and send me a close up picture of just the clutch cover decal in the highest resolution possible. Preferably on TIF format. I have a...
I am in need of the artwork/design of the primary clutch cover for a Heathkit boonie bike. I know someone that will make the decal if I can get a high resolution (1200 ppi) in a tif format picture. If someone can take a picture of just th clutch guard, I would really appreciate it. I know that I...
Thank you so much for your assistance. I was able to purchase a steel roll pin and inserted it in my kickstand and then make it operational. It now works as good as new. Afterwards, I was cleaning up the area under my vise, and low and behold, I found the rusty original steel roll pin that must...

What bushing material?
I took a look at the McMaster Carr web site and they have a great deal of bushings to choose from. Does anyone have an opinion if I should use an oil lite or bronze or brass bushing insert for the sprocket bushing within the two speed transmission on the Heathkit boonie...
I realize that it would not be that hard to remove the bushing and replace it, but the real question is where do I get a brass or bronze bushing for the sprocket? What material, what size in OD? thanks again
Finally getting back to my Boonie Bike project. My current challenge is that the inner sleave on the 14 tooth sprocket on the boonie bike (low speed) transmission section is worn out on one side. I don't know if I can find a replacement (comet) part for this. I have the transmission repair kit...
