Bird Scat Bat.

The only thing missing is the chain guard.

That was one clean barn you found that in. :wink:

another member just bought an Arco here in FL that has the chainguard for that bike on it. I know he said he is redoing the bike so maybe worth seeing if he will sell the bird guard to fund an Arco one. Then you would just need to fashion up a clutch brake bracket like they came with :thumbsup: His name in here is [MENTION=10742]Roadrunner[/MENTION]

I have a Wren, Duck, Thumper, Scat Bat, had a Golden Pinto but sold it. For some reason Bird mini bikes just seem to find me.

That decal is in amazing shape, as is the rest of the bike really. I don't think it was abused. Happy to have it.

I also really love collecting the Bird Mfg. original paint or chrome Mini Bikes . Mark G has a Scat Bat that looks almost new . The one I have is missing the plastic front wheel covers . Finding missing pieces can take awhile . Spent over 5 years trying to find the plastic clutch cover for my Sprite . Had to buy another whole repainted one to take the cover off of . Really nice find there .

I may have located a chain guard for the Scat Bat. (hopefully)

I live in St. Louis area and saw that ad - was low on cash at the time! I'm glad you got it and it was somebody on here.
