(this may be of ATC interest / please move if needed)

well I had an extra 185 engine in the garage & this piece o $#@! kawasaki 100, threw in some of the other spare parts that I have sitting around and
what do you get? another total piece of #@$!!! but this one will be woth a
few laughs! I chopped off the back of the frame, lowered the rear 4", squeezed the ATC engine in, got the Old headtube from my 200x to use as
a pipe, moved the foot pegs up front, and worked out a suicide shifter for it.
no room for an airbox on this so I'm going to run a filter on the carb, & get
the lights working. (funny, the kawi frame that I used has papers & a licence plate!, although I doubt I would want to ride this on the street)
......Viola! a HONDASAKI !

I am not finished enough to ride it yet (Im anxious though)
the engine does run (came out of a wrecked 185s)
I need to solve a clearance issue with the throttle cable,(I will modify the
tank if I have too) weld on tabs for the coil to mount to, the chain and
exhaust are on, I need to put the wiring harness back on, weld the pivot
on for the suicide shift, and replace the rope in the pullstart.........
....a pull start motorcycle .......sweet!
