New member - Tote Gote!

[justdave]

Hello all. Just found this site today. I grew up riding my dads tote gote and today just found my own! Its a 60's 404. Has a new B&S 5hp engine that seems to run great. Just missing one foot peg. Any ideas on where to get one?

Welcome to the minibike madness. I've seen the pegs on ebay.

Welcome Dave. I just restored a 780 Nova. Hey, are you missing a front brake drum? Lever? Look at this ebay listing. Not only are the brake parts there, one foot peg is included.

OldMiniBikes Warehouse link above has the gote rubbers for the pegs also.

Yes, I bought his decals. Most of the gote guys are in Utah. They are quiet for the most part. If you run into any snags, contact Richard Trotter on here. He is a walking encyclopedia on gotes and is was instrumental in helping me on my restoration.

He's going to read this and sell me a 750. :laugh:

So uh.... I might have a problem found another one! Looks like original paint, seats.... The guy gave me the original engine and gas tank too. This thing is in great shape!
