Magnificent 7

Just amazed at how fast stuff can get here from Europe in 3-4 days. Now, this one that got held up from Netherlands, was shipped Monday and being delivered today. Actually, Canadian ones take longest? Australia is 3-4 days.

I just figure that if I get nailed! I will just pass it off to the consumer, which is me!

I have problems from Canada. Gave up.

That’s because, Savoir-Faire is everywhere.

Guess I just gave my age away!

KLONDIKE KAT !

Hahahaha!!

We getting there!

Got some painting of hubs to do!

Plus artwork on all covers after polished.

Foot pegs are on, but i ordered spacers for foot peg springs and longer bolts.

Sorry to hear about your shipping issues. Damn nice of you to send the other fella his order. I stay away from Philly. I live in the Amish country amongst the farmland. Your Maico is gonna be sick! I love the giant raw castings on the engines and hubs. They need the refinement I know you are gonna give it. One hell of a stable of bikes with the Huskys, Maico, and Fox bike. Wish I had half your energy and half the cash you got in your bikes. Great work as always.

Thanx OBD!

I live out in farmland, middle of nowhere, as well. I wouldn’t want it any other way.

This has been a dream of mine that I have wanted to do for years.

Would be fun to build these full time but then again, it would end up not being fun.

Got me shipment today from Maico guy in Florida.

The fact that I CAN'T do it full time is what keeps it fun. It's bonus time for me. When I have bonus time... life is being good to me. No bad attitudes, grumps, or complaints are allowed in the shop.

Ignition cover done except for black stripes.

Classic look

Done

Workin on clutch cover next

I think you get the idea I’m after

what color is that Maico red???

Do you mean the powder coat color?

Powder coat color is RAL 3020

Or the Gunkote color? Gunkote color is Satin Red that I tinted some to match frame.

My box of bolts and screws showed up.

These maico’s Like the cheese head screws, for sure!

Plus low profile Allens. Also, got raw aluminum to make a back brake lever.

Cylinder is shipped to PA to get plated for the bore.

This is the clutch cover. I just have to get rid of all my finger prints.

Front hub is in the oven. Doing it in dark grey. I’ve seen some in black and some dark grey.

Hub done but hot!

Not sure yet? Other thoughts are to do half black and half red. Going with the ribs since they are all even.

So when wheel spins you see red or black?

how about a red spiral like the jets have on the nose cone, that would be cool

I like it just as it is. Looks like a cleaned up & modern look but still has that cast look.
