    Lil indian brake caliper question

    Wondering if the front and rear brake calipers from a 7000 series bike are the same and if they would be the same as a rear caliper on the same year model 500. I don't have them in front of me to compare(don't have any)but figured they used the same parts on both bikes. Looking at buying a front...

    BC 1100 plus

    Here is another one I'm messing with trying to gather some parts for. Picked this one up in Indiana awhile ago. After I got it home I realized that the handlebars had been cut off to use a smaller throttle. They had butt welded a piece of what looked like shower curtain rod to the end. Very thin...

    Trailhorse resto....mod

    Here is another one I'm dabbling with a bit. It may or may not get done this year. Don't have much yet. I bought this one thinking it was bonanza because it was one of 2 frames for sale together and turned out only 1 was a bonanza. Both frame and forks are in pretty good shape. A little chain...

    Sears Trail Tamer(Roper)

    So this is the start of a rebuild/restoration of a Roper I picked up. When I first seen it in the basement of my brother I tried to convince him to just clean it up and leave it as is but he wanted to repaint it and do new decals. After he tore it down and had it sand blasted he decided to sell...

    How to measure drum brake size.

    Just wondering how drum brakes are measured. I was going to order brakes for a sprocket/drum I have but not sure of the size. I can get 4 1/2 inch brakes but no 5 inch are available that I can find. It not quite 5 inch ID so was thinking 4 1/2 might be the correct one.

    Lil indian #39201

    So I bought this frame knowing it would need some work,but it was cheap. It didn't have a motor plate, or bracket for the seat. The seat that was on it was screwed through the frame with 6 drywall screws, 3 on each side. I got a motor plate welded and seat bracket welded on and fixed the holes...

    Are all clone mufflers the same?

    I bought a lot of parts that were pulled off clone engines and got about 50 mufflers and wanted to know if there is any difference in brands. Is a colman 196 muffler the same as a predator, tillotson,ect. Are they all interchangeable?

    Manco Screamer

    This is going to be a very basic restoration. I'll change the bearings and some bolts but the only real change will be the color add a seat and maybe the engine.

    Manco Screamer

    Picked this up last weekend. I'm fairly certain it's a Manco and not one they made for sears because it's marked Manco and the Sears models I've seen were marked Sears. Fairly complete minus seat,kickstand and TC cover. Not sure if it is the original engine but I think it is. Engine is dated...
