I purchased this NOS frame from George (Mountain Man) a few years ago and finally started working on it a couple of weeks ago. It just needed some light sanding on the frame to get it to bare metal. I primed the frame in white and then went with an older metal flake blue with three coats of clear and painted the wheels white. I have a nice HS 50 that I'm going to paint white and mount a clutch brake on. I still need to make the spacers for the wheels and whip up a chainguard and call it done.

A rare Mountain Man George sighting....

Every other photo I have posted of him has mysteriously disappeared over the years...

Nice bike Owen :thumbsup:

Thanks Drew and Buck! I did shake his hand at Windber and he pulled my arm out of socket:laugh: I'm going to use the 3.5 Tecumseh after all, it's been sitting for a couple of years waiting for a new home. It will get a front tank added and a cool air cleaner housing to set it off.

Nicely executed Owen! Man those pegs are long!

Managed to get the engine tins painted, the tank and fuel line done tonight. Can't seem to upload the pictures for some reason?

Thanks chipper! I got back at this bike today and still need to shorten the chain, paint the guard, and attach the cable to the brake band and call it done.

Thanks John! I will get it completed this week so I can take it for a spin.

So I decided to swap out the Tecumseh with a 4 hp clone that I had sitting on the shelf since I'll won't be keeping this one. Now I need to paint and trim the chainguard to clear the exhaust. Had to add a heavier return spring to the throttle, stock one was wimpy! The next owner can get rid of the ugly air cleaner and exhaust if they want, it purrs like a kitten and is Coyote ugly:laugh:

I finally got it completed and it was pretty fast on flat ground and okay on the hills. So I got bored and listed it on C.L. and a local guy bought it for his son and daughter to ride, at least it will make them happy riding it:smile:
