Back in February I found a Local NOS 2002 Blue 24 Inch Whizzer for sale at a somewhat competitive offer. He had acquired two, both still on the shipping crate. I threw a low ball and it hit a home run including delivery to my door for an hour's drive gas money! (and price of the bike of course) There was quite a bit of selective corrosion so I replaced all that hardware, rewired the bike, de- rusted the main control left grip to get the signals and lights working. Cleaned up nice and I had been riding it around the neighborhood stock and under 25 mph to keep it from WC1 self destruction. Two weeks ago I sent a quick text to the seller to show off my work and to my surprise, He said I could have the twin for the same terms! The next day he dropped it off at my house....
This one was about 50% cleaner than the first one, but same issues. Rewired, replace the rear tail light housing that like the first one was rusted out inside. Fashioned a cover for both of the new ones I installed. Tonight I finished Bluebird II, Looks great and of course has 0 miles and never had gas in it yet.
Plans are to sell one of them soon. Has been a fun duplicate project so far.
