I have included a spare engine with a good case and kick lever for repair or reference. Someone put some jb weld on the area where the block broke off(see picture)and it most likely left a small hole in the block. Main problem is a broken kick start spring block so the kick start lever does not return. I just started it a few times over the years. I never got the time to restore it so I never rode it. It also seems to shift freely and the clutch seems to work fine. The bike runs but the carb is dirty so it will not stay running. The paint is fair but the tank has been re-painted as have the forks as well as other touch ups. The large muffler guard has some scratches where someone rubbed up against something but the chrome is not bad and these guards can be found and easily replaced. but the back has a little bit of chrome paint on it where it looks like someone painted over some surface rust. Fenders are in great shape and practically dent free! Muffler is in decent shape for the age. but looks like it will clean up very nice. Handle bar chrome needs a light cleaning. The tool box is nice on one side but has some chrome loss around the tool box knob on the other side but I have included an extra tool box that needs a little more cleaning and may have a little better chrome but the one on the bike is not that bad and may clean up a little better. The tank has no dents at all and has VERY nice chrome with just one small scratch that is kind of hard to see. I have the handle bars tilted back a bit with 3 space washers which gives it a more chopped look but these can be easily removed. Benelli had very few of the Chopper Woodsbikes made up. These bikes have what I believe was the tallest sissy bar used on a minibike or minicycle at 34 inches tall! The bike has a NOS factory correct front number plate that I found on the net years ago and also has its very nice rare original rear steel number plate. Note: the sissy bar brackets themselves on the back and bottom were not chromed from the factory on these seats. The seat is soft like day one and the cool chrome sissy bar is very nice. The seat still looks great with no rips cuts or holes. There was also some model airplane glue spilled on one front corner of the seat which I removed almost all of but there is still a little leftbut its hard to notice. There is one small wrinkle on the top of the seat in the front as it had a heavy box sitting on it for some time. It has a VERY nice original seat (not a recover!) with no rips or tears. It also needs the kill button put back on which I have. I put them back on but never removed the old light wiring. When I got it many years ago the Chopper number plates were in a bag. It came from an old Shriner and was sold new as a Woodsbike Chopper. This vintage minibike or minicycle is in very nice original condition and is all complete.
