I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's home built or shop built with the west bend used for power, I see Bonanza shocks on the exercise bike seat. The forks look like cut down Trailhorse units, overall it's a good looking well built machine and given the engine it's running the price is not out of line.:thumbsup:

I think your right Outlaw! Love the style and the 2 stroke. :drool:

It's a 4 hour round trip from me if someone really needs it.

I saw and sat on this bike 2 days ago and Ron (seller) gave me the full story behind the bike. Everything on that little beast is sik sik sik.

Is it a 580 or 700? Is it a V-5 engine? I can't tell from the pictures. More information in his listing may help sell it faster.

I'm no West Bend engine guy and neither is Ron although he thought it was a 580. :shrug: I think in a way he hopes it doesn't sell and I can't blame him.

I think the general consensus is that it's an awesome little bike. I really like it, seat and all.:thumbsup:
