I present the 2009 Honda Craftsman. One owner, never raced.

With that reverse rake, it must be fast.

Wowzer!!! I have no words.....
Only questions.....
Can it still clear snow from your walk?
Can it run in warm climate?
Are you sure it was never raced??

Lol I have no idea, but all valid questions. Was a listing I saw on Facebook marketplace.

Poor Cat.

 

[RobertC]

I'll say !

And the further shame of it is, there are some desirable parts on there...and they trashed it.

Like they say...beauty is in the eye of the beholder !

Poor Cat, Poor wife, Poor kids, living in the livin room waiting for the woodchuck on the grill and the brewskis to chill a bit before doing some more fabricatin...

 

[Lizardking]

It's for sale in Sacramento CA if someone wants to save it for parts.

Those front tires are not mounted. I often do that to keep a frame vertical in the shop. The rest is questionable.

I might give $100 for that Craftsman just for the engine. Too far from the Right Coast, though.

I’ll throw my trike up for the oddball side of things. Like maybe the last four days and a bunch of scrap to build it. I have already put miles on it. i have a thread on here about going wild with the mods for the 3hp grinding away the crank weights for the bigger lobes and such. It runs exceptionally well. I have been all over the country on it.

I like that thing. The diff axel makes perfect sense. Great use of salvage parts. Old school chair?

Have welder, will travel...

Someone said a Subaru beat seat? it rides like a dream. I rode it across the swamp today another 8 or so miles there and back. The diff axle is the smoothest thing ever. The front off the occ chopper weighs nothing. you can lift the whole front end with a pinky. I’m putting together an 8hp. 14t clutch 60t diff for real road cruising.

Great headlight setup

Great headlight setup

Yeah I was thinking the same.

65 MPH!

I wonder why they had chain problems. lol

 

[sparkwizard]

Looking at that rear sprocket and the size of that tire, I believe 65 is conservative, even with the engine governed.

 

[nightgrider]

Them rear wheels...
