SE Michigan is where I reside, and it isn't a great market for mid bikes. I ended up paying too much for a beat up 110cc that I found in Toledo. I'm eager to start wrenching, but before I dive into it I'd like to know what the F I'm dealing with. I posted up some pictures, hopefully one of you vets can identify it.

I have the fairings too, let me know if that will help. Otherwise, stay tuned for the rebuild. It should be interesting.

Any and all tips will be considered, thanks folks.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the help. Its a semi auto, but no foot pegs so I gotta ride it in whatever gear I choose. However they all work and the motor pulls hard.

I paid (don't laugh) 200. I plan on converting it to a manual.

200 isint THAT bad. my advice now is take it all apart and get comfortable with it, also check for any parts missing/damaged... make a list of what is needed, post it up and I`m sure we can help you find them.

Sounds like a plan. I have a little plate that fell off the frame. Kinda looks like a vin. Any idea what that may be?

When I post my list, I'll do it in a separate forum. If you guys have any other comments, they'd be much appreciated. I'm gonna need as much info as I can find.

Thanks again

if it's a serial number, and it came off the frame, it probably is the vin. as I said, these things can be registered in some states.

Clutch lever and cable ( got a cable setup, didnt work right, hydro cluth on the way) $60
Whole new front brake system $45
Rear pads and brake lever $30
Rear tire $30
