Would you mind sharing where you got the helmet? Thanks

 

[walander]

got it off ebay, just search "vintage motorcycle helmet" and you will find it and a ton like it. But it had to be shipped over from korea, or china, or some asian country

no, but they do have some sick helmets!

 

[boss13]

I see. I didn't find any for $19.99 shipped? Did you pay the crazy $40 shipping fees most of those want on top of the $19.99?

 

[walander]

no, It was $18.99 for shipping, it was an auction with an opening bid of $.99 and I was the only bidder

 

[boss13]

Cool, I'll try to look for similar deal, awesome looking bike by the way.

 

[boss13]

Any chance you could post the seller's I'd from eBay, I can't find one anywhere near the $20 with shipping

Some updated pics, installed a nice vintage rack and made some saddle bags. Has a rear view pirror now ( hate it, goint to remove it) and I did an engine swap and have not yet "aged" it. she runs amazing! 35 mph all day long ( and its still in break in) and even with the 36t it climbs hills without much trouble.

Did your last motor give out on you?I have gone through a few engines on the same bike....

[walander]

No, it did not give out. The last motor was a grubee 66cc, this is a jet 66cc and it was going to be for another bike, but it out ran my grubee hands down, so I swaped em out.
