Here is my new project. It's a 1968 Wards Riverside Mojave 260. It's actually a re-badged Benelli that was sold through Wards Department Store catalogs.
Fresh from a barn where it sat from about 1970 until two weeks ago.
Yep. It looks rough. From what I've been able to gather there aren't a lot of them around any more. Unfortunately that makes restoration/parts availability more of a challenge.

Anybody got any extra Mojave parts laying around?

Geez, I just hauled a truckload of Mojave spares off to the dump. Couldn't seem to GIVE 'em away...

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: Just kidding, of course.

What a cool project! Good luck with it, and keep us posted!

Oh man, Kirk. You almost gave me a heart attack when I read that! I'll post more as it progresses. Unfortunately I think progress is gonna be slow. I have a couple of parts sources but time and money (or the lack of both) are always cramping my obsessions.

That made me laugh out loud.

Cool bike... look forward to seeing what you're able to do with it.
