The Revenge of Swamp Thing - Page 4

Well I got the new tube in the rear tire done, that was a disgusting mess. It had swamp water in it and smelled so bad I thought something died in there.

Anyway got it all back together and what a difference, it spins so nice. It used to bind up but I think the wheel was crooked or something.

Looks good. Always rewarding to see a neglected machine brought back to life.

Thanks, I'm trying. Hopefully will have it running tomorrow.

You need to come up with a new name for it, it no longer is a Swamp Thing.

That's a nice bike with potential, the cb motor served me well on a lifan before I drowned it lol.

I may have a set of side panels if your interested, dark blue, not swamp green.

I'd be interested if they are they are the right fit. Don't care what color going to paint it anyway. Let me know what you have.

I'm sorry...just checked the garage and I only have one. It's the older style 2 piece where there is a small front piece separate from the side panel...not much help sorry.
