Andymann Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 That's a proper "fix the rev counter" job you did there. To get the rev-counter off I had to remove the clocks. Which meant also the headlight. The headlight bracket was rusted so I took that off for powder-coating. You can't just sent in one part, so I took off the bars to send them and the top-yoke in too. Which meant dropping the forks. But the front disk was so worn I had to take off the front wheel to yet the caliper off, which showed an oil leak in the forks, and rusted spokes on the front wheel. And the radiator brackets were rusted too so I quickly took off the radiators.....and you can see where it went from there...... Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, Wannabe and nathrix 3

Gnarly Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 I have an old MT50 at my folks place... dont think it has moved in 20 years... Might be a bit big for a 5 year old. We had an oke a school who had one of these, he used to hang on cars to go faster.

We had an oke a school who had one of these, he used to hang on cars to go faster.I finally figured out you are looking for one of those mini pit bike numbers - a mate of mine has one he hasn't used in years - will ask him if he wants to sell for you. My school run was 26km each way..... was great with the PE wind behind.... the other way.... not so much... Gnarly 1
