Man you guys would just love a real Whizzer.. speaking of which, I think I should throw one together soon.. ;D

.. am thinking there is another one coming in my very near future.. ;D

Them latestyle springers just look cheapass compared to the old style no matter how you paint them.. look at where the pivot bolt goes through the main fork into the lower tree.. they just pieced the tubing.. on the old ones it was a bracket and spacer all brazed to the rear of the fork..

Seems the engine is manufactured by Honda. Small world.
