It just needs a longer swing arm and it's ready for any hill climb.

Turn those forks around to fix rake and get brake set correctly. That OEM stock seat spring would need to be changed to a lighter rate for for me. Add some side number plates and I would be willing to race it in the unlimited open class.

guess you only use the front brake when you need the wheel to hit the frame......

This is a surprise. Didn't think my bike would get any interest. I purchased this bike bone stock near Chaparral, New Mexico. The desert was starting to reclaim it. Bought it from an older military army guy, getting ready to retire. We both pulled it out of the dirt. Luckily, there were no rattlesnakes to help . Here are some new pics I recently totally revamped the bike. Doing a commemorative in honor of my dad to give to my older brother. He used to race a 50s Dodge station wagon that was cut in half and shortened. It was yellow and blue, called the Hairy Canary. Should be done with this in a couple of weeks. My brother lives in Florida. He can't wait to get it. Again, thanks for any interest when it was a dirt bike;.
