I mainly wanted it for our annual 4th of July Parade. It is usually 100 degrees that day and my dog hate walking. I usually ride my sl70 and my wife walks the dog,but hope I will have this done by then. I thinking John Deere green with a Yellow rims and motor. I found a minibike seat on ebay with the JD theme.
My dad have a few old JD so I can store it on his property without him noticing it. lol
I traded for a minibike to strip down to get this project going but I hate to tear it apart now. It is a Bonanza BC-1210. I will have to look for another one.
I see you are in Portland, I may be heading up that way the first week of Jan. Well driving through Portland and the final stop in Pullman washington.
If you need anything delivered up from Sacramento area, just let me know.
I for one think it is a great project and could be very useful around the yard and at things like swap meets and even parades. As always trike get the bum rap about how much floor space they take up but that's what mezzanines are for build a storage rack above. After all a mini bike can't haul wood or yard debris for you. I would find a tractor seat and a nice little 5 HP Briggs Flat head engine and keep the green color. Best of luck to you and Merry Christmas
