Agreed, skate board wheels do work better! However, it's also nice to have the OEM parts. For this CAT project I'm still on the search a chrome switch plate, front/rear fenders and the noisy chain tensioner.

scan ebay for the fenders and kill switch plate i just got a rear fender for my 300TT for 40 bucks shipped i made damn sure i was getting it lol. now i got the set for my bike
Thanks again supernova and good luck on your Arco restoration. Once this CAT 350ss Clone is finished I will also be working on what I believe is a 1968 Arco. But I must first finish the CAT....
Here's some pictures from this weekend of the CAT assembled minus the clutch cover. I was able to ride it yesterday and burn about a quart of gas. Overall I'm pleased with the ride with the exception of two items.
There's some harmonics going on with the front end at high speed where the front wheel goes into a front-to-back wobble??? Also, the angle bracket on the disk brake set up flexes under tension and I will need to come up with a better design.

Thanks Dodge. Your CAT looks great, just build another one....
I'm also looking for 3.5 tec for this project. The one on the bike is a side exhaust:doah: and I'll eventually replace it with a rear exhaust. No rush on this, I still need to fix the wheel wobble, fabricate a new angle braket for the disk brake, fabricate mounting brackets for the clutch cover and maybe one day score the switch plate.
It will all get done in time, the shop will soon close for summer and re-open in the fall leaving plenty of time to look for burried treasures and riding!
Again, consider building another CAT 350ss for your litter:hammer:
