Well, it was a nice 13" rim, Red, Black, & Silver 2005 Longbo Adventurer 150.
@2007 I give $150 off craigslist for it, non-running.
2300 Miles, no holes in the case, clean title, ignition key ........an unnoticed broken valve face laying in the oil gallery.
Bet I spent $300 in gasket kits, pistons. & heads figuring out stainless steel valves & bigger jets were really the need.
Lasted a good brutal 10 years before both the plastic and electrical systems just failed all over.
Flash light in the mouth get me homes....yup,been there.
This winter of 2016 I had a little extra time and cut up an old Aluminium gull-wing toolbox into some bolt on panels .
Everything’s tight , not 1 rattle....and the nice quiet factory muffler style stays.
Nothing fancy (...always Black) , keep 2 identical engines to quick swap :
STD 57.4mm tops, 10 gram rollers,Power Link Belt, #125 Main Jet, Stainless Steel Valves, Diverted PCV, No Choke, No filter.
IDK how much it weighs any more , definitely lighter , been meaning to fill up and swing by the scrap yard scales.
The original battery box bottom is in there (t-rimmed down) . Small rubber mat cloaks battery terminals .
Yup, EMT Conduit for Stranded wiring runs....twist connectors : much better then factory connectors.
Aluminium switch plates with radiator clamp fasteners......250cc brake master ( mirror holder's built in on those)
I only ride in the day , head light's not so important (maybe a junk car fog light IDK) , horns going under deck.
Seat's covered with some durable table cloth material from the thrift store......Pro Tip : the short staples
Walmart Low voltage 12volt LED trailer lights . Old chain-link fence rail : rear frame tugger point / wheelie pegs.
Dunlop or Pirelli's soon enough,
It's been awhile
