Default 69 Trail Cat 120 Suzi

I found this old bike and decided after 41 years of service it deserved some TLC. It's a 3spd tranny with a high/low range. Name:  suzi.jpg

Here the old bike is after some work. I just sent the seat to a local guy to get recovered. I had a hard time finding an exact match on the paint but it's close enough. Name:  zukistep3.jpg

After a good carb cleaning it runs darn good. Just waiting on the seat and got a little more cleaning and touchup work to do.

Thanks lt230sman. I was lucky to find the bike, and it really wasn't in to bad of condition to start with so it made a easy project.

Sweet looking bike JimW! Reminds me of a 72 Kawasaki 120 I had years ago..It had a dual range gear box also..

Thanks for sharing!
