Acquired another trail 70 frame and parts to put the extra 4 speed motor in. Cool part is the frame is a 1970 HKO 4 speed bike. Pretty rare frame. The extra motor had to have a new stator installed. Found out the hard way that ..that was the problem. Anyway ...here is the cheap restoration mod. No light or electrical for now. Just a kill switch. Used a couple cans of Charcoal Duplicolor wheel paint and clearcoat for the frame.
Here the $100 acquisition:
Had to cut the old tires to get at the rusted bead. A cutoff wheel took care of the bead and the rusty wheel halves came right off.
Had to order new pipe, frame stickers, throttle cable and grips, brake pads and parts, tubes and tires, and chain....oh and a new seat and bracket combo.
Runs great. Needs updated suspension though. New rear shocks and forks rebuild are next.
