Hey Houndguy,
Thank you for the insight.
The motor end, I'm not real worried about, but it's a great point.
Since I've been upgrading my BR, I've become way more comfortable with doing (so far) all my own work except tire changes, and I also want to do that a couple of times, with spoons, wood and muscle.

I've been into many types of gear boxes, drive lines and what not in the printing industry. Motorcycles are very different but many assembly and checking procedures are the same, so with a good service manual. I'd wade in to some engine work.

Here are a few pics that inspire me for what I'd like in the end.
I want to have another scooter that can be my grab and go for every day use, or errand running, type of ride, something real cheap, and odd, and keep my BR for longer trips.

I honestly knew nothing of *skelly rebuilds* until a few months ago.
Since I also have 15+ years of welding and fabricating also under my belt also. So the removal and cutting of mounts and frames are not new to me....on a scooter it's very new to me.

I'm in no hurry either I got a 71 Karmann Ghia in the space for my try at a rebuild.
I'm installing the interior from the pans upwards.....so it will be a while....so I look for desperation, divorce, deceased sellers, barn finds, the people are usually in the frame of mind to just get rid of a thing.
Yeah, I know that sounds harsh, but I've parted with things due to desperation, and I've bought things from those situations, it's just business, nothing personal.

I also beg pardon to the original poster for being off topic in his thread.
