Thought I would share my most recent vintage find. I have been looking for a Merc Trail twister for a number of years and wasn't able to track anything decent down. I recently tracked not one but 2 really nice original survivors. A 76 and a 75. Both 440s I don't know a ton about them but know they were a quick machine back In the day. The plan is to completely restore one and touch up the other to keep as a rider. If u have any info or stories on the Old TT 's please share it here
Cheers !

Good finds!

I wonder how hard it will be to find missing items.

The power of the old inter web is amazing. I needed a tach, air box, hand grips and a couple hood tie downs. Found them all from a guy in New York. He used to race them and has a ton of parts. Even grabbed a set of perfect cylinders and heads to keep on the shelf. Looking forward to getting these back on the snow !

The hardest thing I have been having trouble finding is the original Blue Lexan windshield material. Might have to paint one light blue and see how it looks

A guy near me was trying to sell three of these machines with spare parts.realize a little to far away for you. They are a sweet old ride. Nice find
