Hi guys. Just needing some expert advive on west bend motors.

Any guys from West Michigan on here. I am looking to purchase a couple bikes. I was looking at two Azusa kits and using the harbor freight engines. Looking to get orv stickers and going riding with my boy on the orv trails in Newaygo county.
I'm not too sure what size this is but I think it's a 580. The tag is missing and I got it in a trade so I don't know it's history. Has spark and decent compression.
