A Blog about Motorcycles. Also at www.OldMotoDude.Com, on the OldMotoDude YouTube channel, and Pinterest. The motorcycles are mostly vintage, but really anything that catches my eye. 99.99% of the content on this blog is original material. Comments are always welcome.

I had a Reflex. I would really love to have that bike now. I made a red seat cover it. theReflex had a very quiet muffler and you could sneak up on people. you had to stand up on the bike a lot because of the seat and tank shape was cramped and narrow. but nonetheless a fun bike to ride in first gear around the yard and pretend you are in a serious trials event until you fall over like a goof.
ReplyDeleteThere's one for sale on the Colorado Springs Craigslist for about $3,000.
Delete$3000 is a very fair price if it's alright. I would refoam the seat into a thicker and taller shape for old guy comphort. 3 inch taller handlebars so you can sit up straighter. remove all the street parts and remove the battery. it has nice chrome wheels. the orange frame is beautiful. a highmount skinny Preston Petty fender would look nice. use skinny motocross tires. put an even larger rear sprocket so you can really putt around the yard between the yard knomes and tulips. I would rather have that XL75 in the next post.
Deleteit's like a street legal XR75 but with nicer paint and plastics and tank decals. the XR75 has a very nice looking exhaust. a very desirable bike to me. http://instanttractiondeluxe.blogspot.com/2018/04/seen-on-dirty-ol-oldmotodude-blog.html
