SimpleTom found this on Green bay WI CL. f150tilt was kind enough to accept delivery of the bike, do a first rate job of boxing it up and shipping it to me out in AZ.
I opted to get it with the original Tec 4 and let the owner keep the Predator.
As happens when buying from photos, the bike had more issues than I suspected. The handlebars were bent, the rear fender was a pretzel, a foot peg was missing, and the kick stand was very loose. The original engine leaked oil, and had some oddball carb on it.
I put together a carb from several old parts and got the engine running. I'll rebuild it later. I was able to straighten the bars in a vice, fabricated a foot peg, and dollied out the rear fender. I also repaired the weak kickstand. I didn't think to take photos, because I wasn't going to post any of this. It's all basic and well beneath the restoration and fabrication jobs I see here all the time.
These are the Craigslist Photos. From these photos it looks like a candidate for simple refurbishment. :thumbsup:
