This is not the first one I've seen where they paint and filler is just shedding in sections.

Bummer Jonathon.
I got a bodge running for my wife's friend Lisa, or actually her husband Keith. He is a big car guy and bought this thing and welded a nipple on the tank, then put in a racing fuel tap and fuel filter. I removed the filter and voila, it runs consistent. I gave him the bad news about the entire bike, and walked over it in detail with him. Then explained that I cannot work on it for him because it's too much of an unknown. He understood and thanked me profusely for getting it running consistently. |

Any thoughts on this one folks?
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/4114367995297280/ Apparently the owner cut the holes in the engine cover and converted it to 10" wheels himself but he doesn't know much about its history. Thanks for any feedback.👍 |

Come on, the special yellow stand boots ( which may not even be available any more) and the glove box door seal must certainly add something to the value. And how about the sticker on the gas cap in Italian ? Doesn't that prove it is real ?

Bodge spotted in Cruella.
Saw it in theater so I couldn't pause it and get better look at it. This is the only photo I can find online. It appears to possibly be a VNB, but with P hubs. Would love to get better angles cause it was definitely more prominent in a few shots as her sidekick, the guy from I Tonya and Richard Jewell, was restoring it in a few scenes. ![]() |

Somewhere I've seen a brief clip of someone (presumably Cruella) doing a donut / burnout on that thing. At least, that's what I see in my head. I am starting to question if I really saw it or not.
