I feel like I've seen this one before. Mostly, I'm impressed that the bondo isn't cracking off yet given the amount of rust on exposed metal.

Interestingly, someone put an OKO side draft carb on it, but they also put on (or tolerated) a kickstart lever that sticks into the next lane of traffic.

I don't blame the flywheel, I blame whoever tried to remove it with a three-armed gear puller at some point in its life.
