he did a really good job it looks like a current kx how long did it take him to do every thing. what engine work had to be done

Nice job! I know a kid that did a 10 point restore on an off road machine and couldn't bring himself to get it dirty again! He sold it! Got a nice chunk of cash and bought a street machine.

Just got it completely broke in.... Didn't get any good wheelie shots... damn camera has some kind of delay on it, so everyone I tried to take came out empty...

Full blast pass


and another..


and a nice little stand up wheelie..

No kidding.. I don't think I have to worry about that happening with my boy... He's already wanting to hit the woods with it... but we had a pretty good storm here last night so he's going to have to wait a couple days....


Thanks guys... He did a pretty good job, and I'm proud of him..

I can tell by his smile it came out good! Nice job kid!!!!!Keep up the good work!!
Later, Boots

What street bike is that in the background with the tall handlebars, next to the dirt bikes?

That is a 74 Jawa CZ... I found it in my buddy's barn.. it only has 13 miles showing on the od, and still has the tits on the tires.. plus it's ulgy has homemade sin, so I had to bring it home... Story is a guy bought it new, didn't ride it.. his son got older and snuck it out for a ride, crashed it (headlight/turn signals/ect) he traded it to my buddy some time later....

I believe those JAWA CZ's are worth quite a bit these days, with 13 miles especially. Have you an idea of it's value?

I haven't got a clue what its worth... I really doubt it's much though... I just got it because it was so ulgy, and was somewhat rare.... It's got great compression, but the carb needs gone through ofcoarse, and there are a couple wires on the stator that need replaced... all in all, most of it is there... just missing little things like the clutch pearch, ect....

Well, I've seen them ask 2,000 to 4,000 for that year range. It's a 125 or 175, right? Check it out, yours could be toward the high end. Heres a few different JAWA/CZ from Walnecks, I think yours would land in the middle with some TLC

Here is one on eBay now, put it on your watch list. Your should be close to it in value.

Wow... I wish mine looked that good... the 20 some odd years it spent in the barn took it's toll on it... chrome pitted, metal rusted, patts broken/missing...

I would have never thought they would be valued that high though...



I get a chance, I'll drag mine out and take a couple pictures of it so you can see just how bad a shape it's actually in... which is a shame seeing how little miles are on it...

As you can see mine is not in all that great shape... and I didn't remember it missing the side panel.. But you can see it does only have 13 miles on it... I took a picture of the tires, but they didn't turn out so good... they are the exact same as the one on ebay though.. and have the same name, and logo... I did notice that mine has the wrong turn signals in the front, as well as the wrong handle bars, but I think that's from where the orignal owners son wrecked it... but for the most part, it's pretty close to being orignal...
