k&s

Picked this bike a week ago, and just started breaking it down. Its a K&S Hornet with a Rupp front fork. Plans are bringing it back to life with new parts and paint.

This popped up near Knoxville. Looks like a nice survivor. https://knoxville.craigslist.org/mcy/6115999403.html

I was pulling apart the K&S I have and discovered the front end is sprung! I had no idea, everything was so painted up and stuck it just seemed solid. Anyway, one leg came out fine, but the other... well, the spring is stuck. Hard. It (the spring) has a weird bend where it's been compressed...

Working on getting the barn find Roadrunner back on the road, there is a belt on it, worn and maybe a little long. wondering if anyone has found a good replacement belt to use for them? I did a search, no luck, I did print out the Vplex sheet from mini doodle that delray posted up years ago...

My latest score , picked her up on Wednesday . I've collected , built , restored a few minis in the last 3 years , sold a couple but kept most as I love all of them . Vintage bikes are scarce in the south , well this is my first complete Survivor and I will be keeping it ! I'm...

Sold through Gibsons Department Stores.

K&S Hornet Standard for sale. Nice solid frame with what looks like school bus paint on it but it was a beautiful metallic green and would look great painted back that color, has factory fenders but no fork bolt and it has the factory kickstand which is in great shape and working. Also has...

I have a K&S Hornet Deluxe for sale, has minimal surface rust over the entire bike from sitting outside with some light pitting along the bottom but no holes or thin spots so a solid frame. The forks where the lowers meet has thinned out some from on one side the lower movement but it's full...

This is my K&S Hornet Deluxe. Notice the forks have a spacer/collar welded right to the end of the fork tubes. I've looked at picture after picture online of the Hornet Deluxe models, and cannot find one with these forks. They all have the fork ends stamped flat with holes drilled for the axle...

Picked this up from a fella today, I think its an old K&S Hornet, but im not 100% sure of that. Can anyone tell me for sure?

It has been a little while since I started this project and it was put on hold while I worked on the house but today I worked on it a bit and here it is almost done. Ideas, opinions and comments are welcome.

Mostly complete except for fenders and clutchguard. The motor apprars to be Original. But somebody has hillbilly rig the throttle and the governor but it does run. The Chrome underneath the crappy paint still have some shine to it and no heavy pItting.. Could be an easy restore. $400 local...

This K&S Hornet was completely restored to new condition. The bike was in great shape to start but was completely taken apart and painted as well as the motor. The bike has not been run since it was restored and has no gas or oil in it now. I was told the motor ran great so all he did was paint...

I found this little frame on CL and decided to get it and build something that the wife a daughter could ride. After 5 coats of paint removed and some minor mods here it is now. It will need a jackshaft added and some paint. A previous owner used a grinding wheel in an attempt to...

I picked up these a few days ago. A K&S Hornet, bare frame and a Karts International roller. I've decided to sell them and use the funds on my Bird. $100 for the pair. Call (270) -792 -6066 --- NO text. No PM.

Picked this up today and i think its a hornet but im thrown off by the forks having a second tube slid in the bottom that holds the wheel.

I'm creating artwork for a Texas Ranger decal. The original is significantly faded, so I am making some guesses as to color. In the attached comparison you will see a rendition of where I stand. The original appears to be a spot-color with three colors. The blue stripe on the right appears...

I'm looking for a K&S swing arm shaft. May have to have a machinist cut one to length and cut c-clamp grooves. The distance between the jackshaft plates is 7.5". I estimate that with c-clamps and washers, the shaft would need to be 8.5" long.

Hey y'all. It's cool to see all the participants in the build off. I started feeling like I was missing the party. I'm making a rider out of this K&S but I thought it would be fun to get in on the action. I'm hoping it will help me move it along a little faster too. :smile: Oh yeah, this...

And again no pics, got the camera but need to get a new card. This K&S Hornet Deluxe is very buildable with working brake and Comet clutches but no engine or seat, still has great Sebac seat shocks too. I have a Hardtail Deluxe and two standard Hornets here already, one of the standards is my...
