For some reason that axle looks really wide. Are they all like that? Good luck on the restoration.

your right hrc.. that axle is wide! the one currently on my bike is not that wide.. i will be replacing it(probaly) with one i found that is wider, and also replacing the spider tracs with some turf savers i have!

just wanted to say....i need a new swing arm for it....cause the one that i have has been welded...apparently it broke at some time and they just used some "african injinuity".....and also....i need the rod that slides into the frame, motor, and swing to keep it all together......hehe....not very good at the terminology thing....heh

you guys......this isnt exactly the ideal base for a resto project......you guys think perhaps i should just make it into a rider ?????

Well, if you really want to get technical about it, the plural form should be ellipses not ellipsis. And if you wanted to get really REALLY technical about it, ellipses are meant to indicate the omission of a word, not provide a dramatic pause like you seem to think. Oh, and if you wanted to get really REALLY REALLY technical about it, it's 3 periods in a row, not 4-6 like you use. :rolleyes:

Make it into a rider, do a revival instead of a restoration.

i think that is the bike i nearly bought. i decided it was way to far gone. do it as a rider and screw the small stuff.

that bolt is a double end stud, 5/8-18 x 10 you can get one form "Northern tool" they list it as a go cart axle
