My new winter project, not exactly a 3 wheeler though still cool.. MY neighbor needed his network setup and we always barder computer service for atv's, motors, ATC's and now Heathkit Boonie probably around 68yr(Thanks Mike) . He has had it since he was 12 and they are almost 40 now. Motor would not turn over but after a little persuasion she unlocked and has good compression. Clutch was pretty rusted and did not want to move but a little PB buster broke it loose and some wd40 get it lubed and spinning. Chains need some love and also needs paint. Worse so far I can see is the front forks are bent in. I will try the ATC 70 for fix listed on here to straighten them so the front end suspension will work again.

Plans are to add a nice size rack in the back for a case of..umm... beverages. Also going to add a nice front fender and yellow paint job. Brother wants to pin stripe the rear fender. Going to add a big ass old round head light too..lol SHould be cool. Going to be a camp site runner for sure.

Pics not working on Imageshack.. Posting to supermotors. be right back.
