I was a Maico dealer in the late 1970s and early 1980s. About 10 years ago I got out two 1981s and decided to built two really good ones. I build one which I raced until recently using good parts. But the best parts I saved for my collector bike which I never really intended to ride. This is that bike. It has lots of extras [expensive] and new bearings. pistons. etc. Also the following are new/tiresBuchanan spokesMaico Only pipeMaico Only mufflerMaico Only rear brake lever Maico Only footrestsMaico Only rear chain guideMaico Only rear braking plateNew number platesNew fendersPowder coated framePowder coated hubsNew Magura leversThe front forks were rebuilt. The heads stays were just chromed. There are a few bolts not completely tightened; the engine has never been started. DID rims. goldWheelsmith muffler
