I wanted to do a build log on my Bonanza MX1310TC. I don’t recall seeing much on this model on the forum.The frame is the MX frame with the tall jack shaft plates. I started when I found a roller a couple hundred miles from where I was living about 8 years ago.
I saw it on Craigslist one night after dinner and told the guy I would be right there. Collecting parts took years. The hardest part to get ahold of was the clutch cover witch I just found one a couple months ago. My bikes so far have been restomods. I try to be as true to the original but since all the bikes I have done have started as rollers or just finding a parts until you gave enough to build something original is not possible . I also like a little extra bling to personalize it. I have mainly been into Honda minis witch are considered mini cycles more that mini bikes but this site has been pretty tolerant of letting us coexist. I want to be able to ride this a lot so I want it to be reliable. I found a nineties NOS engine in the box on Craigslist a few years back that is a Tecumseh 4hp.Marcus gave me some pointers on backdating the motor for a more authentic look so I did more parts collecting. Now it’s ready to start.
