Bike chassis because reasons. I would like to do a mono shock conversion eventually, but for now, running and on the street will be plenty.

where you located op?

Utah, anon.
Probably not sticking around forever though. Maybe another year or two

So after much faffin' about, I've come to the conclusion that the discoloration around the flywheel/crankshaft fitting is indeed rust and that this flywheel has indeed never been removed from this shaft.
I have two tricks left before this starts getting really expensive.
Also, any 2 stroke anon think I could realistically remove the seals and recondition them instead of buying new?
