Magnificent 7

Look a sheeter on dis creeter!

Made mud flap to seal off where pipe runs, since gonna make a snail piper for her. Fox decal is paint!

Waiting on another Maico decal for shock reservoir.

I inlayed red down in head. So, doing Charlie thing with black cylinder and polished fins/supports.

Bad news! Cylinder will be plated on last bore. 2nd to last piston had too much clearance even with plating.

Just throwing as much as I can now but it is easier to remove stuff down road once it all comes together.

Amazing!

Thanx Mr Brown!

Polished the carb up and did the Maico logo on the bowl.

Thought title change was more in line.

That’s because 7 should fire come spring!

But how many out of the Magnificent 7 had Husky’s?

Can you name them?

Brenner, Bronson, McQueen

I love that movie. By attitude I would say Yul, Steve, Charlie and James. Maybe Robert Vaughn too. You've done an excellent job. I hope you didn't keep the receipts.

Shame he can't get a receipt for the time and elbow grease.

Ha! Thanx guys!

I thought it was McQueen, Bronson and Coburn?

If there were any other Husky guys in bunch then I’m gonna learn something new.

I’m held up on cylinder...... got done plating it and while honing, they saw a little squiggly line. Liner has a hairline crack in it.

I just sourced another cylinder but now have to go back and prep it, then ship back out.

I actually screwed up when put the fox logo on the piece of aluminum to replace mud flap.

It actually had to be turned around to align with air box.

So, decided to do lil something different.

No one will ever suspect that's a MAICO!

Just got done shooting tank!

Mars red!

Here is tank resting on bike. It is 79 VW Mars red that is in all Maico forums.

As you can almost tell, it is on the softer red, on this side of Sears.

Well, that is not cutting it and is driving me nuts, with the mis match.

So, I ran to the paint store and we made my own Maico red.

It is Nason Base Coat.

Called Darin’s Maico Red.

Always the stickler. Can't wait to see the tank back on.

Thanx!

You might have to so send me a pair of Honda Wings for it........

Got gas cap all polished up. Looks good with the chrome, black an red handle bar scheme.

Perfect match!

looks like something's missing.

its an electric maico, doesnt need a gas tank

In that case....the battery is really small.
