dells68 7,498 #1 Posted April 7, 2018 Bought this little gem at the show last year for a great price. It seems to have a lot of 701 DNA, with some 702 mixed in. @oldredrider, @limited12, and I think its a 701 with another k161 and 702 hood. It has the 701 frame, belt guard, rear fender braces, and even a piece of the original dash behind the gauge. The mystery for me lies in the hood paint. The tin work doesn't appear to have been painted and wears its original paint. The hood matches the belt guard, frame, hood, and fenders. So, is this a 701 that had its hood replaced early in its life, a very early 702 that used the last of the 701 parts, or what? Its obvious that the engine has been replaced, but it does run really well. My plans are to clean it up good, clear coat to preserve the patina, and paint the rims white. I do have the original style turfs, but prefer the lug tires. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shynon 7,470 #2 Posted April 7, 2018 Looks like a 701 to me with a replacement hood, and double pulley and belt guard missing, even has on original front tire on the right side. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 49,460 #3 Posted April 8, 2018 I agree with Tom. Please tell us you have the other HL. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dells68 7,498 #4 Posted April 8, 2018 Thanks. I do have the other light and an original switch. I actually made the stand or pipe portion and got the lights from Ron Greco. I also have a nos muffler for it to redirect the beat away from the light on that side. I got it for $250 and feel like I did pretty well. I started looking for an original hood, but what are the chances of finding one with original paint that would match?! 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ron had just sold his last complete set when I finally made up my mind to purchase. He had an extra set of lights and switch that he let me have for a good price. I was must happy to bend the tube without kinking it! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris G 3,296 #7 Posted April 8, 2018 I agree. Looks like a 701 with a 702 hood and possibly a engine swap / atleast pulleys were swapped. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
