Wicokid 1970 Couparral Tony Pony

I was looking for another project this summer... I purchased this rolling chasis after finding a tank among some other items. now I need an engine, fenders and guards at least. Im having buyers remorse, can someone tell me i didnt get a bad deal?

I like it! It's a lot better of a start then most bikes I get. Manchester1 can most likely help you out with the seat. I like it though, I think it's a good start

Hey thanks DragRacetpp!

I have been working on a 1976 Goldwing and had an oppourtunity to pick this up for $385 without the engine. I looked the cost of the cost of US820 Engine and about choked. These may be small but arent cheap. I sent a message to your recomendation of a seat guy and hoping to find someone with experience bringing this back to original. Or as close as I can afford...

It doesn't have to be original, just build it how YOU like it. Some of the best builds on here are the furthest from original. That is a very cool bike, how ever you do it up it will look great. Manchester1 has done 6 or so seats for me now, always very high quality at a great price. The original wheels look like Azusa wheels, witch arnt too bad price wise. I think those wheels on it can look great too all cleaned up/ painted.

Just build it how you like it, original can be very expensive. It will be great however you decide to build it!

Thanks for the great advice. I believe you are spot on. You know some bikes have alot of parts available this one does not. So glad to hear you say that because I am seeing what could work out to be very nice and be much more affordable.

I appreceate the help with those wheels. Thinking of a good color too, that original tan didnt do much for me anyway.
