a couple of 110's. Neighbor calls me down to thier house cause their computer is not working and they are afraid to call anyone else. We'll I was riding the quad down to their house and I noticed they had a couple of 3 wheelers on their side yard and thought to myself boy those would be a couple good parts bikes. So after I got the machine fixed I spoke up as a general inquiry to see if they were intrested in selling the wheelers. His wife spoke up and said, all the help you have given us and never charged us, you can have'em. I about pooped myself. I said you serious!?!? She said yes. Her husband spoke up and said but ONLY if you take the trailer with them. (trailer is 4ft wide by 6 or 8ft long) I was Holy trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro! OK!!! So I waited a few days as I didn't want to be pushy and have them change their minds. Today I seen them out in their yard so I asked my son to run down and see if now would a good time to collect up their "junk". Boy comes back and says yes. I had my boots on in a record time of 2 seconds flat. I had to lift those bikes over their 4 ft fence as well as the trailer. Got'em both though. As I get finished his wife said you taking the gokart to right!? I am wtf! Umm, YEAH! It has no motor but I have a 6hp tech for it :naughty:. So up over the fence that goes as well. I run down to the house and pickup the wifes 250 polars that has a hitch. Yeah I stuck those wheelers on the trailer they gave me and towed'em home! LOL! My boy and the neighbor hood kids pushed the kart home for me. lol!

1 bike is likely to be a parts bike but the other will get fixed. My oldest son is beating me down already for it. :w00t: (Another addict). I got to looking as I got them home and the one that is complete has a twist throttle on it (yes it is on backward, I stuck it that way so it would not hang down) and what looks to be cobra exhaust????. The parts one looks to have the same type. Both seats are in extreme good condition. The complete bike fenders are near perfect except for some light fading. It turns over fine with what feels to be good compression. I am pleased. The parts bike is missing a few things and doesn't seem to shift right. That will be my first complete motor tear down for a 110. Wife told me dam you got to much stuff back here..lol I think the complete has a newer motor, maybe 90's? Not sure.

Anyway pics of them right now.

looking for grab bar, seat (if possible), muffler, brake drum backing plate, drum cover and the lever that operates the brakes that goes through the backing back and hooks into the bearing/axle carrier. Let me know what you would be willing to let go.

ok, I am doing an inspection tomorrow on them to see what I got myself into :) Anyone know what kind of exhaust they are? I believe one has an spark arrester on it. I am still unsure what kind they are. Anyone got any idea about the handle bars (orange in color being held up by my son)?

thats cool. the muffler doesnt need the spark arrester, Im ok with that. as far as the exhaust I would suspect DG or cobra, but thats me someone might know what they are and hopefully will chime in. on the handlebars just a guess but maybe renthal? <<just a guess.

I will here in a few minutes go out and clean the pipe up and see if there is any numbers or labels. There is a tone of dirt on them. Still wondering on them though.

Nope, if there was any stickers they are long gone. Oh and you have a pm.

I did find out the complete one runs. It was missing the start/stop switch. I found an extra one I had and hooked it up. Cranked and had spark. Sprayed a little carb cleaner in through carb and she fired right up on 3rd pull. So now off to do some maintaince on it and get her safe and ready for the riding season and my boy who spent most of the day sitting on the bike day dreaming.

Still unsure about the exhaust type and handle bars... maybe someone here knows and willing to chime in?
