Damn, I've never seen anyone else talk about those little things. I used to cruise around all summer on an old trail 70 my uncle gave me and my brother when we were kids. I still have it but it doesn't run anymore unfortunately. Might have to pull her out this summer and see if I can get it running again.
Mine had the 4 speed with a clutch.
Then... I got one of these.
1975 Honda Elsinore 125
1st year for the 6 speed transmission
If you look real close, you will see a tiny "mud flap" on the front fender.
I completely restored this,
1999 YZ250 2 stroke "tricked out" with a 292cc Big Bore kit, 11ox flywheel weight and lots of extras.
Sorry, I didn't mean to "hijack your post OP. I got carried away with "Memory Lane" lol
Note) 1999 was the 1st year of the new designed motor for Jeremy McGraff. Carried this same motor design till 2017 or 2018. It's all a person would want between their legs if you're a hard core 2 stroke rider.
Well, maybe 1 other thing., but we won't go there. lol
