They are porta-walls from Universal Vintage tire. The tires are for the Tomos mopeds 3.25x16. Have a nice look and should last me a while. I was going to run it this weekend but I am missing the long screw that goes into the left side case cover (top left of oil spinner cover) and the one below it. So I need to search for those this week before I add oil. And honestly I have been working on this thing so much lately that I just kinda felt like relaxing this Memorial Day weekend.

I like that A LOT!!! Are my eyes playin tricks on me, or is that bike really orange? Orange is one of my favorite colors.

Haha:) Niether are mine. The yellow one is actually a Citabria and the other is a Mooney. Customers of ours.

The photos don't show the color really well unfortunately. It's a strange color. In some light it looks a little bit orange like in the photos and other times like in the sun, it looks super red. It all depends on the lighting. I really like it now, at first not so much.

So I finally ran it today for the first time. Turned the key down to the starter only position and cranked for a few seconds to prime, switch it to one up and it fired right up with out even a cough. But as soon as I push the chock handle down it begins to race so I still have some work to do. I put those Dunstalls from JCWhitney on. I think I will go get some of that really coarse steel wool and see how it runs with that in there. I'll post some pics of the bike with those mufflers.

Do you like the Dunstalls? I bought some but haven't put them on yet.

When I pulled them out of the box I wasn't really excited. It seemed to me that they flare a bit more that what was pictured on their website. But I put them on anyway just to see what they look like and I really do like the look of them. It kind of adds a little bit to the art deco look of the bike I think. I only really hung them up to see what they look like and still need to rig them into their proper position which may be a bit of a task. I'll try to get some pics today and post here.
